Hi!
I was hoping to use my new wlan card to work as an access point for my
home network. I was using a Dlink router before (and a seperate router,
so the dlink was only working as a AP)
But I`m having trouble getting this to work.
Take a look at ifconfig:
ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 2290
inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe68:8ce9%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

ether 00:50:8b:69:a4:c5

ral0 is my wireless, and fxp0 is the wired to the rest of the network.
This machine also works as a server for my home network.
# cat /etc/hostapd.conf
interface=ral0
driver=bsd
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
debug=4
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=secret
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=verysecret
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
What do I need to do to get the wireless clients to connect? All the
wired clients works as they should, but the wireless do not get an IP.
# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
I also see this my log:

And I guess that means the encrypting thingi works. But still no IP.
But, I also see kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format in the log.

16 16:59:51 tenderheart kernel: Nov 16 16:59:51 tenderheart kernel:

(there are a lot more of these error codes)
Do anyone know what I have missed? man hostapd.conf is not very good,
and the hostapd.conf is different on openbsd, and linux.
Please CC: I`m not on the list.
