problem putting wireless card into master(AP) mode

[Alexander Samad <alex@samad.com.au>]

Hi

I have HP 8530w laptop with debian amd64 2.6.32-2 and
lspci  -s 3:0.0 -v
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5300
       Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1011
       Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 31
       Memory at db100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
       Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3
       Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
       Capabilities: [e0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
       Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
       Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-21-6a-ff-ff-47-9e-ee
       Kernel driver in use: iwlagn


my hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=samad
hw_mode=g
channel=3
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=XXXXX
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP


when I run hostapd -dd hostapd.conf I get
hostapd -dd ./scripts/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: ./scripts/hostapd.conf
Failed to set interface wlan0 to master mode.
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=5 eloop_data=0x9bc420 user_data=(nil)
handler=0x43c940

one other thing I have

cat /etc/modprobe.d/wireless.conf
#options iwlagn swcrypto50=0 11n_disable50=0 amsdu_size_8K50=1
fw_restart50=1 antenna=0
options iwlagn swcrypto50=0 11n_disable50=0 amsdu_size_8K50=1
fw_restart50=1 antenna=0


works fine as a client, just can't get it into master mode :(

Thanks
Alex
