Hi all.
I've been trying to compile my own hostapd version under 2.6 linux kernel, but problems arises with nl80211 driver. Strangely I managed to compile it correctly under 2.4 kernel, but I was forced to do it under 2.6 because openflow works on that.

I'm building the firmware with:
backfire 10.03
target system: broadcom bcm947xx/953xx
target profile: broadcom BCM43xx wifi (default)
with kmod-b43 driver, lnl-tiny.

I'm suspecting on an error with lnl-tiny but I was able to compile it under 2.4 as I said earlier. I really don't know, maybe I'm missing some libraries.

Searching here and there, I found that kernel 2.6 works with b43 opensource driver that is more unstable than broadcom-wl driver, then clearly error arise when I tried to compile hostapd using that driver. So I googled some solutions but I have one in mind, installing all in kernel 2.6 but without including hostapd and then use the guidelines that states: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt54g for installing broadcom-wl driver and then install hostapd using the opkg command. I hope that works because I'm tired trying u.u
Feel free to comment if you have other suggestions.

hostapd and  nl80211 probably expect to share similar data structures ?

your error is similar to : https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/3501

So either fix manually, search the commit history of hostapd and mac80211 in OpenWrt and the projects themselves or select a different point of svn to checkout a working hostapd/nl80211 combination and rebase your patches to hostapd on that

commit history of hostapd package in OpenWrt is available in web too: https://dev.openwrt.org/log/trunk/packa … ?rev=33674


I dont know if its viable but the backports project has shiny new drivers backported to 2.6.x kernels
http://marc.info/?l=linux-backports& … 86&w=2 shows the different 2.6.x versions

I've tested your ideas and nothing new happen  but I started to think what's the cause. I need to downgrade hostapd makefile and libnl-tiny because I'm testing something in an old version and maybe there are incompatibilities between libnl-tiny (which appears to be a stripped down version of linbl 2.0, but I wanted libnl 1.0). I'm going to try that.

Finally I made my firmware which has a size of 3543040 bytes. My question now is if I'll be able to copy that firmware using the mtd method, because I read somewhere that a firmware size more than 3MB  will not be accepted using TFTP. I'm using a linksys wrt54gl which has 4MB Flash storage.

The discussion might have continued from here.
