Thread: ubuntu 11.10 Server + Ralink RT3060 + hostapd = no ssid broadcast

hi,

need strange problem. bought ralink rt3060 pci wlan device use hostapd. use hostapd packages ubuntu repositories. problem hostapd running without error outputs, ssid not broadcasted somehow. can't join network because can't find ssid configured in hostapd.conf within wireless network browser of mac. don't know if hostapd got stuck because when start manually there no more output printed (see output below).

here hostapd.conf

code:

interface=wlan0  driver=nl80211  ssid=testnet  channel=1  hw_mode=g  ieee80211n=1  auth_algs=1  wpa=3  wpa_passphrase=1234567890  wpa_key_mgmt=wpa-psk  wpa_pairwise=tkip ccmp  rsn_pairwise=ccmp

hostapd -dd hostapd.conf

code:
