Hostapd or wpad

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi
What hostapd is?
Wpad alone is not enough?
When should I use hostapd ?
Can't find concrete information about this...

2

for what ?

might be outdated https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.utilities

Wpad is enough for Fast Roaming?

4

for 802.11r i've always uninstalled wpad, and updated hostapd-mini/-basic with plain hostapd.

5

802.11r is not working in my situation (wpad-wolfssl) .
Should I use hostapd to make it work?

6

try wpad-openssl instead of wpad-wolfssl

hostapd is a cut-down build of wpad which does not support client modes. The only reason to use hostapd instead of wpad is limited memory.

It works though, at least for me.
