hostapd
to authenticate and encrypt with WPA2 but I can't work out how to make it broadcast 802.11n on the channel I want reliably with HT40!I've been stuck with this for hours now, I've set this up in Linux before but the same kind of configuration (setting all the modes in the
hostapd
config) doesn't work the same in FreeBSD.What I've got in my rc.conf is:
Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
ifconfig_wlan0="up ssid WiFiAP mode 11a channel 44"
hostapd_enable="YES"
It kind of works but not really, it doesn't like using the channel I tell it to all the time, sometimes it literally decides to do 802.11a only, sometimes it does do 40MHz channels. Even if I disable
hostapd
and just use the ifconfig
settings I get the same problem.Another problem I have when
hostapd
is used is that as the system boots up the network is broadcast before hostapd
is ready which results in some time where the network has no WPA and is completely open.I've been trying to follow this doc page to no avail: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
