First time I have used "make image" to create and install a snapshot build. So I am not sure if this is to be expected.
The build was latest as of two days ago (OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r18163-d6c5bb69cd / LuCI Master git-21.322.38385-6507b1f). After building the image and flashing it, I decided to use the hostapd_cli command for something, so I "opkg install hostapd-utils". All is fine up till this point.
But when I type in 'hostapd_cli' this is what I get:
hostapd_cli v2.10-devel

Selected interface 'wlan0'

... and nothing would work. Even a 'ping' command will return with a timeout.
Is there an issue with that snapshot build of hostapd? Or is this normal? Is there a way at all to still use hostapd_cli?
