invalid/unknown driver 'rtl8192cu' - in hostapd

[Cridi]

Hi Guys

im tryin to set up my Pi as an AP however it does not work. I downloaded hostapd and udhcpd. I Set up everything and it does not work.
after typin hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf this occures:

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:~# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Line 2: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl8192cu'
1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'

So obviously the right driver is set in hostapd.conf but it does not work. Has someone a Solution idea?:)

Jeah Thanks!
I already found this one half an our after my post here too. But this is not working either way. If I do it like on the page my Pi is emiting the Wifi signal so i can see it on my laptop but i cant connect, there are authification problems -.-

I can set up my Pi as an AP with the same wifi adaptor on Raspbian

My /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf is

Code: Select all

interface=wlan0
driver=rtl871xdrv
bridge=br0
ssid=NETWORK-NAME
channel=1
wmm_enabled=0
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=NETWORK-PASSWORD
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
auth_algs=1
macaddr_acl=0

No need to change the line "driver=...". I have even found it works if that line is removed or commented out. Or you can try changing the driver to 8192cu which is the driver module although I think it is totally unnecessary. I've not tried it as it's not necessary to get it working.

I set up my AP using the data Dougie pointed you to. I did, however, compile my own hostapd from the driver source I have. Tried mine with raspbian 3.10.25+ #622 and 3.10.34+ #660 using the same hostapd file for both.

You can download the version of hostapd I compiled from here. This file contains a 8188eu wifi driver for 3.10.25+ and the hostapd I used for 3.10.25+ and 3.10.34+ so I would expect it to work for any revisions between those two, and possibly other versions of 3.10.y as well.
