Hi there,
I see `iw list` is showing that the i4 pro's internal chip supports AP mode. [1]
However, when I try to run `/usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf` it errors out with no driver entry or driver=nl80211 in hostapd.conf [2]
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf Failed to create interface mon.wlan0: -95 (Operation not supported) wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 40:2c:f4:ae:16:c6 and ssid "aa" Failed to set beacon parameters wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver Interface initialization failed wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED wlan0: Unable to setup interface. hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
So, seeing that lshw shows the `brcmfmac` driver, I set driver=brcmfmac to be greeted with:
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf Line 8: invalid/unknown driver 'brcmfmac' 1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd.conf' Failed to set up interface with /etc/hostapd.conf Failed to initialize interface
I'm currently on 4.5.2-cubox kernel. brcmfmac shows up in lsmod.
Anyone figured out how to set up an AP using the internal broadcom chip? I'm at a loss.
