hostapd.conf error

[cbrace]

Hi all,

I have an Atheros card configured as WiFi access point on my FreeBSD box, which serves as an ADSL gateway.

WiFi works fine without encryption. Now, I thought I would enable WPA-PSK, following the Handbook instructions:

To load these modules at boot time, add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:

wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

Done.

However, when I start /etc/rc.d/hostapd, it says there is an error in hostapd.conf but gives no indication of what is wrong. I am using the generic example from the Handbook page:

interface=wlan0 
debug=1 
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd 
ctrl_interface_group=wheel 
ssid=freebsdap 
wpa=1 
wpa_passphrase=freebsdmall 
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK 
wpa_pairwise=CCMP TKIP

Any thoughts on what might be going wrong here?

I'm running FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE.

ctrl_interface_group is obsolete.

That fixed it, thanks.
