Most of the ath6kl developers use wpasupplicants AP mode for this so I recommend trying with wpasupplicant first. It might be that hostapd requires something which ath6kl doesn't support.

hostapd works fine, but a recent git version is probably required. v0.7.3 is a bit old, I think.

Sujith,
Can you tell me your setup for....
kernel ver?
hostapd ver?
libnl ver?
architecture ?
I'm running....
Compat-wireless 3.1 (ath6kl still in staging) built against kernel 2.6.35.3
mac80211 as module
cfg80211 as modulehostapd v2.0-devel (git cloned today)
libnl-2.0
arm, freescale imx51
I tried hostapd v2.0-devel and no go.

If ath6kl is still in staging you have an ancient version and it will not support AP mode. Please try latest wireless-compat or use the latest kernel from ath6kl.git:

Hi Kalle,
I've tried ath6kl in compact-wireless-3.6.8-1 built with kernel v3.5.7 on arm for AR6003, as well the driver in kernel v3.5.7. Both of them still failed to work at AP mode with hostapd 0.7.3 complaining "Failed to create interface mon.wlan0: -95 (Operation not supported)".
Only IBSS(adhoc) mode can work with wpa_supplicant.
Has anyone successfully had AP mode enabled for ath6kl?
Is there any official announcement about the capability of ath6kl driver in compact-wireless?
Only thing I found is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers. It indicates ath6kl does not support AP mode in linux driver. I'm just not sure whether it covers the capability of the one in compact-wireless.
Regards,
