Hi!
I use hostapd to set up a wireless access point and I need wpa_supplicant for encryption. I works fine if I start hostapd by my self, but not on boot. And I think the problem is that wpa_supplicant is started after hostapd. How can I see when the two deamons are started and then change the order in which they start?

Hi!
Now it all works fine! I found two sollutions to my problem.
1. To add a line "hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" to /etc/network/interfaces (under correct iface expression)
2. To edit /etc/default/hostapd and comment out the line "#RUN_DAEMON="yes". I also had to enable hostapd in BootUp-Manager. I don't know it this had been necessary if I hadn't installed BootUp-manager.
