# See /usr/share/doc/hostapd/README.Debian for information about alternative
# methods of managing hostapd.
#
# Uncomment and set DAEMON_CONF to the absolute path of a hostapd configuration
# file and hostapd will be started during system boot. An example configuration
# file can be found at /usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf.gz

# Additional daemon options to be appended to hostapd command:-
# 	-d   show more debug messages (-dd for even more)
# 	-K   include key data in debug messages
# 	-t   include timestamps in some debug messages
#
# Note that -B (daemon mode) and -P (pidfile) options are automatically
# configured by the init.d script and must not be added to DAEMON_OPTS.

Change firewall

pluto main → firewall → IntIF → eth0 to br0

Run hostap

sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Guest Network (IGNORE)

old mac address:

10:9a:dd:c3:67:c4

change it to 02:9a:dd:c3:67:30 using (bold values are required, the middle part can be taken from the original mac address):

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 02:9a:dd:c3:67:30
ifconfig wlan0 up
