>Description:
I am trying to configure 2 usb Asus WL-167g adapters
One - on FreeBSD in Hostapd mode
Other - in Windows as a client.
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rum0 wlanmode ap
/etc/hostapd:
interface=wlan0
driver=bsd
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
debug=3
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=MyWiFi
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=mypassfp
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
............
I can connect to this AP from intel/broadcom/etc... adapters from windows.
works fine.
But, if I connect from WL-167G from Windows or Other Freebsd host to this AP,
both adapters cannot see each other. Or if manually change radio channel
ifconfig wlan0 channel 9
connection seem established but unstable
up/down
up/down
etc....
There was the same problem on two Windows machines with drivers from BOX shipped with adapters. When I download last drivers from chipset manufacturer (www.ralinktech.com) everething works fine on two Windows machines.
I suppose rum driver must be updated...
