cases
* RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate

Jouni,

We are using the devicescape driver from wireless-dev git
tree as
well, Is there any special instructions on building
hostapd-0.5.8 to
use it? I have set the settings in the .config to use
devicescape and
to point to my kernel's sources and it compiles fine.

However, it does not work. wpa_supplicant on another machine
can't
communicate with it nor can any Windows XP hosts.

BTW, hostapd is running on Ubuntu 7.04 (using wireless-dev
kernel
2.6.22.) The device driver is devicescape (RALink's
rt2x00/rt73usb).
The wireless device is a Belkin Wireless G USB.


Any help at all would help.

Thanks,

Ed

If you can build it and then use driver=devicescape in
runtime
configuration, you should be good to go as far as hostapd is
concerned.

I've never tested Ralink driver in AP mode and don't even
know whether
it is supposed to work.. Have you heard of someone using
this
successfully? This would be more or a question to the driver
maintainers
at this point unless it is clear that the driver is expected
to work as
an AP.

Thanks, Jouni.
What device would you recommend? Anything the hostap driver
works
with? Our only restriction is it has to be USB.

I don't have enough information on what you are trying to do
in order to
recommend any specific device.

That combination is not going be work since Host AP driver
does not
support USB devices. Then again, your previous message did
not seem to
have anything to do with Host AP driver..

Nope, only hostapd.

We are using it currently with the 2.6.22-rc2 wireless-dev
git release
from serial monkey. We've tried both 0.6.0 and 0.5.8, Both
work well,
but the wireless drivers are not stable yet. -rc4 completely
broke
them. Rumors of -rc5 will be better.

The chipset that seems to work best so far is rt2570. Found
in older
D-Link USB sticks.
