hostapd doesn't work with rtl8192cu module

robertjinx · 11-21-2014, 03:19 PM

Hello, I've got a 300Mbps rtl8192cu chipset wireless usb adapter and I've setup hostapd so I would use my server has a wireless router.

here is the hostap config:

Code:

logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=1
logger_stdout_level=0
interface=wlan0
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostap-wlan0
driver=nl80211
country_code=CZ
ssid=my_ssid
wpa_passphrase=XXXXX@YYYYY
hw_mode=g
channel=11
wpa=3
auth_algs=1
macaddr_acl=0
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
# wpa_pairwise=TKIP
# rsn_pairwise=CCMP
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
ieee80211n=1
ieee80211d=1
ieee8021x=0
preamble=0
disassoc_low_ack=1
ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40][HT40][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-7935]
beacon_int=100
max_num_sta=8
wpa_group_rekey=86400
eap_server=0
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
wmm_enabled=1

The machine is a Debian 7 fully up-to-date, dhcp server is setup and when running hostapd with -d option (debug), I can see this, which don't know what it means:

The mobile phone, which is trying to connect to the SSID my_ssid, is trying 3-4 times, then getting 'Authentication problem'.

Does anybody know why this doesn't work?
