Installation

  • You will need hostapd (installed by default on APF6):
$ make menuconfig
Target packages  --->
    Networking applications  --->
        [*] hostapd
        [ ]   Enable EAP
        [ ]   Enable WPS

Configuration

  • Create /etc/hostapd/ directory and put it hostapd.conf configuration file:
$ mkdir -p /etc/hostapd/
$ vi /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0
ssid=APF6
hw_mode=g
channel=6
#auth_algs=1
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=YOUHOULESBILOUS
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256
  • here we used fixed channel (6) (as some drivers can't allow hostapd to find less occupied channel through scanning)
  • security is WPA2-PSK. To have "Open" Access Point uncomment #auth_algs=1 and comment 3 wpa lines
