Hi, i'm using a supported wireless card that supports Monitor and AP mode , don't have issues with this card using other wireless tools that requires AP mode.
But i get error with this tool :

Configuration file: /home/gill/rogue/tmp/hostapd-wpe.conf
ACS: Automatic channel selection started, this may take a bit
wlan1: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ACS

With hostapd attempting to do ACS and without seeing the command configuration being used, the two likely causes are:

  1. the --channel flag wasn't set
  2. or it was but the channel selected isn't supported on the hardware a channel was selected which isn't supported within your region of the world

--country flag allows you to manipulate the regulatory domain applied the hardware at runtime. The default domain configured on hardware is typically 00 which is world domain and is the most restrictive. Using --country BO will change the wireless regulatory domain to Bolivia which is one of the most least restrictive regulatory domains, as such hardware is typically allowed transmit on most WIFI channels.
