Hello
I can not use a “hostapd” on bananaPi M3.
if I run the hostapd without the option “-d” (demon) the software tells me that the interface works, by cons I have no wireless network visible.
the interface is not connect in iwconfig.
you have an idea
Thank you

Hey,
did you found a solution ? I’ve tried it 1000 times also with 2 external USB-WIFI-Adabter (TL-WN823N & TL-WN722N) but unfortunately without any success…
Maybe someone else have any ideas…
NO WAY
HI,
I’ve spent two day for this. The trick is in module parametr:
]# rmmod bcmdhd ]# modprobe bcmdhd op_mode=2
Then I used create_ap:
]# create_ap --no-virt wlan0 eth0 <AP_Name> <AP_Password>
Works for me on archlinux. You can add it here:
]# cat /etc/modules-load.d/wifi.conf
bcmdhd op_mode=2
Have a nice day.
