[SOLVED] hostapd-1.1-armv6h.pkg OR iphone hostapd.conf?

Postby tomatoes5555 » Sat Jun 15, 2013 2:37 am

If you recently updated, hostapd-1.1-armv6h.pkg might still be in '/var/cache/pacman/pkg'.

I am trying to get my Pi to create a wifi network that I can join from both my computer (windows) and my iPhone. It was working with hostapd 1.1, but I updated to 2.0 and only made a backup of the conf file. Here is the hostapd.conf file that WORKED for 1.1(with all the commented lines removed):

http://pastebin.com/Ucnx0neS

But after the update, only my computer could connect, and my phone would go into a connecting loop. It will ask me for the password (and tell me if its wrong if I enter an incorrect password), and then the loading spinner will appear a couple of times next to the wifi name. According to hostapd output, it connects for a very short time, then disconnects. I can post both hostapd output (-d or -dd) and iphone syslog output if anyone is interested.

I would also be interested in a hostapd.conf file that has allowed apple devices to join. Thanks.

Googling around finds me a number of hostapd.conf files, there are many more, but have you tried any of the following:

Thanks, I did quite a lot of searching. The problem was with dnsmasq actually. For anyone else with this problem the spinner disappearing and reappearing next to the wifi name on the apple device is actually because it cannot get an IP address (my computer could). All I did was fill in static info in the Wifi's details and then go back and try to reconnect, and it worked. :D
