In the process of setting up a server I followed these two tutorials:



https://seravo.fi/2014/create-wireless-access-point-hostapd



https://community.openhab.org/t/setup-your-own-openhab-cloud-myopenhab-server-instance/24716



I have two network adapters. 1 is used to connect to the router which is connected to the internet. 2 is used to for a private home server. They were both working until I restarted my computer (after following the tutorials)



They are both detected with lsusb and lspci respectively. ip link show shows only the second adapter, the first is missing entirely.



Trying to start the private network host with sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf



Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp3s0 disabled_11b_rates=0
nl80211: driver initialization failed.
wlp3s0: interface state UNINITIALIZZED->DISABLED
wlp3s0: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlp3s0 wasn't started


If I removed the changes I added to /etc/network/interfaces



auto wlp3s0
iface wlp3s0 inet static
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0


Then I can use this adapter to connect to the internet router. It gives the same error message when I try to start hostapd.



I need to start hostapd to host the private network, and I need to get the 1st network adapter working at all. I suppose something must have changed in the tutorial 2 process that broke interfacing with my wifi adapters.

  • Hi and Welcome to Super User. It's good that you posted links to the tutorial for context. In addition to the links, it would help us answer your question if you edited the question to add a step by step list of what you actually did and what results you got. This way, you save the people trying to help you time and if the problem is that you made a mistake following the instructions, it will become apparent.

  • When you say "If I remove the changes..." and then have part of the interfaces file, do you mean that that's what you removed, or that that's what you're left with after removal?
