Having enabled hostapd for one time kills my wlan and requires a complete reboot. This situation is somewhat better than what I thought before, i.e., if_run supports dlink dwl-122 e1. However, I really need to secure my wireless network. Can anybody point me in a direction where to look for that hostapd issue? Thanks, cheers, Christopher
