Hi everybody !

I Got a problem, I attempt to setup a wifi-network based on IPv6 standard with WPA2 encryption for my school project. I am using hosted to make this but I stuck with a problem for some weeks now

When i start hosted with a basic configuration file like this :

interface=wlan1
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macadr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=Bonjour1234
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pariwisz=CCMP

I Got the following error message :

nl80211 ; Could not configure driver mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan1 wasn't started

I update debian kernel from 2.6 to 3.13.3 and add all wireless modules when i did "make menuconfig ". Then I did make && make install && make modules_install && reboot"

After reboot I got another problem :

nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found
Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211'
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan1 wasn't started

I don't know how can I fix this problem. This project have to be done for Tuesday so if anyone could help me it will be very great :)

Thank's for your help !

PS : Sorry i my english is bad (I'm french and not bilingual ;-) )
