![]() ![]() n/cfg80211 i'm not going to pretend i understand the stuff about writing drivers but it did give me some hope. Not being one to give up too easily i thought i might look a little deeper, what i discovered is that its not the nl80211 a device needs to work with its the cfg80211 api, this page gives us an insight. and after much googling around i came to the conclusion that if the device does not work with the nl80211 driver there is no way to use hostapd and my best course of action was to go out and buy a new dongle (preferably something made by belkin with a ralink chipset). I ran in to trouble because the instructions call for specifying 'driver=nl80211' in the nf file but this driver was not found on my system. I followed the instructions i found via this board but located here. The chipset for this device is rtl8188cus I bought a cheap generic 'nano' wifi dongle because i wanted to use my raspberry as a hotspot. ![]()
