Hi, I had a working hostapd wireless access point configuration in FreeBSD 6.4. The access point is being used by Windows XP workstations. I was using WPA-EAP with freeradius authentication very successfully on the 6.4 backend. After making the changes for a new 8.0 RC2 (see below) system the XP clients cannot seem to authenticate. The radius server does not even get contacted by hostapd. I can get WEP and WPA-PSK to work OK - just WPA-EAP fails to work in 8.0RC2. I also have a dhcp server running to hand out dynamic addresses. Please let me know if you have any suggestions as to how to debug the issue further or where I may be going wrong. ==== hostapd.log is showing the following: -> Startup Nov 8 23:06:26 freebsd hostapd: wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Fetching hardware channel/rate support not supported.
