How do I use hostapd to run AP mode on ST60 module?

Answer

1. Load backports driver. (Here is an example for the SDIO option.)

insmod compat/compat.ko
insmod net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
insmod net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
 insmod drivers/net/wireless/laird/lrdmwl/lrdmwl.ko
insmod drivers/net/wireless/laird/lrdmwl/lrdmwl_sdio.ko
Ifconfig wlan0 up

2. Set interface as AP mode

iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan1 type __ap

3. Use hostapd utility to load hostapd.conf to enable AP.

hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf -B (Set interface=wlan1 in hostapd.conf)
