Re: [Voyage-linux] can´t get Atheros AR9280 (ath9k) in AP mode

[Pablo Escobar]

I have tried the latest voyage-current available in the web and I still
can´t get my card in ap mode

I have seen voyage-current has a  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf file by
default. So I edited the /etc/default/hostapd to use that config and I keep
getting the same output from iwconfig and I can´t see the ap ssid with my
client computer :(
