Oct 27, 2017 Help Trying to make an AP but 'nl80211: Could not configure driver mode' Helpdesk (self.raspberrypi) submitted 1 year ago by Lucas0014. It seems that the nl80211 driver is not compatible with my WiFi adapter although it should work as an AP. From iw list. Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off.

Rtl871xdrv driver initialization failed. I'm surprised to see 'rtl871xdrv' there, because that appears to be the name of a driver for a Realtek device. Since the device is Atheros, it's not surprising that initializing the driver failed, but I'm not sure why it was even attempted to begin with.
Dec 02, 2014 Hello, Using builtin wlan0 and an external Alfa NHA as wlan1, starting up shows the following errors:- nl80211: could not configure driver mode nl80211: driver initialisation failed hostapdfreehapddata: interface wlan1 wasn't started. In the old days, receiving and sending management frames required a monitor mode interface. You needed one interface running in master mode for standard traffic and another one for authentication, keys management, etc. The second one didn't require any specific API; it was accessed using a standard Linux socket.This method is still supported by nl80211 driver as a fallback.

I´ve set up hostapd files but when I want to run it by executing this command:
sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I get the error as follows:
How can I run the hostadp? Thanks in advance.

I was scratching my head with this problem since last one month. I had TE-TendaW311M and using similar configuration resulting in 'diver initialization failed'. Since many people are using Edimax, I ordered EW-7711UAn and carefully configured the hostapd (minimal configuration) and it started working. But one interesting thing happened after that, I tested TendaW311M again with new configuration and it started working same way as Edimax dongle. So, my final remark on this problem is proper configuration of hostapd.conf is important. Please use this configuration and see what happens:
Please share if there is any further issue.
