Zeeb changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bz@FreeBSD.org, | |wireless@FreeBSD.org Blocks| |278175 Status|New |Open --- Comment #1 from Bjoern A. Zeeb --- Intel wireless drivers in FreeBSD do not support hostap mode (iwi, iwn, iwm, iwx). LinuxKPI for iwlwifi would not either. See Intel's statement: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000030429/wireless= .html Not entirely correct anymore but I'll leave it at that. I would at best say that the error message is confusing but trying this with iwx I see the following during boot: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2 (wlan0): Device not configured iwx0: HOSTAP mode not supported ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2 (wlan0): Operation not supported ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2 (wlan101): Device not configured ... /etc/rc: WARNING: /etc/hostapd.conf is not readable. /etc/rc: WARNING: failed precmd routine for hostapd I am tempted to close this as works as expected but someone might want to go and improve the startup scripts to properly deal with this?
