'hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
I'm trying to virtualize two wlans on my linux and set connection, but when I'm running the hostapd.conf I get this error, and I don't know how to fix it, if anyone knows I would be pretty grateful.
I'll leave the info bellow, thank you very much!
My hostapd.conf:
# hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
country_code=DE
ssid=Virtual Wifi
channel=0
hw_mode=b
wpa=3
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
wpa_passphrase=TopSecretWifiPassphrase
auth_algs=3
beacon_int=100
My terminal:
root@pedro-tfg:/home/pedro/Desktop/tfg# hostapd hostapd.conf
Configuration file: hostapd.conf
nl80211: kernel reports: expected nested data
