RT2870 chipset based wifi USB Master mode Error

Nishant Joshi
Intellectual 310 points

Hi,

I am using Ti's DM6446 EVM board and RT2870 chipset based wifi USB dongle.

I am using MontaVista 2.6.10 kernel for it.

 

I am successfully able to connect RT2870 USB adapter and configure it as Ad-hoc mode.

But I need your support to configure it in Master Mode.

I have used hostapd 0.6.9 to set it in Master mode but it fails.

For that I have enabled CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211 and CONFIG_IEEE80211N, I am using libnl 1.1 for it.

But looks like there is bug or no support in kernel for these drivers (nl80211).

In Kernel "net/netlink/af_netlink.c" file netlink_lookup function returns NULL and my socket connection refuses.

 

Please help me to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Nishant Joshi
