Question hostapd problem.
Hello.
I'm trying to setup wireless AP using ral under FreeBSD7.2.
Here is my configuration:
Code:
[root@razumit ~]#cat /etc/hostapd.conf
interface=ral0
driver=bsd
logger_syslog=3
logger_syslog_level=3
logger_stdout=3
logger_stdout_level=3
debug=3
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid=freebsdAP
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=3
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
own_ip_addr=192.168.0.1
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=password
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
[root@razumit ~]#ifconfig ral0 list caps
ral0=2181e500<IBSS,HOSTAP,TXPMGT,SHSLOT,SHPREAMBLE,MONITOR,WPA1,WPA2,BGSCAN>
[root@razumit ~]#ifconfig ral0
ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
        ether 00:21:91:82:30:57
        inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <hostap> (autoselect <hostap>)
        status: associated
        ssid freebsdAP channel 11 (2462 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:21:91:82:30:57
        authmode WPA privacy MIXED deftxkey 2 TKIP 2:128-bit txpower 50
        scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7
        roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS dtimperiod 1
When I'm trying to connect from station, its ask for pass, and report no answer from AP.
tcpdump -iral0 with various options show nothing, hmm.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I can't get it.

Do you also have in /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
hostapd_enable="YES"
And have hostapd running?

# /etc/rc.d/hostapd start

Sure.
I've tried to debug it with hostapd -ddd /etc/hostapd.conf.
But got nothing.

Are all the needed wlan modules loaded?

Post the output of kldstat. Also what's in /etc/rc.conf regarding the network interface?

I guess so. It complained about wlan_xuath, until I've compiled it to kernel.
Code:
[root@razumit ~]#kldstat -v | grep wlan

It was down by the moment I wrote the reply, but this is not the reason.
When I'm testing it is up, like in first ifconfig output.

Try running # hostapd -ddK /etc/hostapd.conf to see if the key it receives is correct.

Leave the hostapd running with the -ddK switches then try to authenticate with a client. See what happens and where things might go wrong.

Try input/output flags with wlandebug(8), if it doesnt work you need to build custom kernel ...

Following set give me absolutely nothing useful, while I try to connect, apart of posted above.
Code:
wlandebug -i ral0 debug
tcpdump -iral0 &
tcpdump -iral0 -y ieee802_11 &
tcpdump -iral0 -y ieee802_11_radio &
hostapd -dddK /etc/hostapd.conf &
I in perplexity how it can be?

This is log/messages for this time.
Code:
Nov  7 16:40:01 razumit ral0: [00:21:91:82:30:57] station with aid 0 leaves
Nov  7 16:40:01 razumit ral0: synchronized with 00:21:91:82:30:57 ssid "freebsdAP" channel 11 start 1Mb

I got mine working with :
Code:
# This field is a bit field that can be used to enable WPA (IEEE 02.11i/D3.0)
# and/or WPA2 (full IEEE 802.11i/RSN):
# bit0 = WPA
# bit1 = IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) (dot11RSNAEnabled)
wpa=2
# Clients do not have to share the same PSK
wpa_psk_file=/etc/hostapd.wpa_psk
# Since TKIP now falls in matter of seconds, rely exclusively on CCMP.
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
ifconfig output should look like:
Code:
...
authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey 3 AES-CCM 2:128-bit AES-CCM 3:128-bit
...
Cheers mates
