wifi wps support on Hotspot settings

Hi all,

Android version: Android6
Kernel Version : 3.14.52 (Linux localhost 3.14.52 #25 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 1 16:40:05 +0530 2017 armv7l)
Wi-Fi Chip : WL1831
Host processor : X86 linux os(ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Target Board : IMX6Q sabresd Android Board


I always got error. When i execute hostapd command. I was changed everything in my hostapd.conf file but i got error.
hostapd_cli wps_pbc Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory


root@sabresd_6dq:/system/etc/wifi # hostapd_cli

Could not connect to hostapd - re-trying

How to fix this.?

Thanks,
VinothS,

Hello VinothS & Welcome to LQ! Sorry that your post didn't receive a reply.
It might be because it's Android: there's a 'sibling' AndroidQuestions.org here; maybe try that!
(different than AndroidForums.com; I see you tried other sites, without any replys)

I tried searching the error and found a few things, but, since I don't know Android, Idk if relevant.

Solved it. The command does work, as long as /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf includes: ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9597 & https://translate.google.com/transla...hp%3Fid%3D8762 etc

Maybe you could attach (or post, using CODE tags!) your .conf (at other forums also). Maybe other info but Idk. Best wishes.

Try putting this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
