Question

That solved it, and uncovered a new problem... Maybe I'm out of practice with my hostapd.conf writing, but it's rejecting what (used to) work just fine. Here's my file, with the lines that are causing errors marked with * :

---hostapd.conf---
*interface=ath0
driver=bsd
*logger_syslog=-1
*logger_syslog_level=0
*logger_stdout=-1
*logger_stdout_level=0
*debug=3
*dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
*ctrl_interface=/usr/sbin/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=mynetwork
macaddr_acl=0
*auth_algs=1

*wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=mynetworkpwphrase
wpa_key_magmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP TKIP
---end hostapd.conf---

As you can see, all I'm trying to do is setup a simple WPA encryption on my wireless card. I've read through the man pages for hostapd.conf and couldn't see anyway to do it, and haven't been able to find an example though searches.

Any insights appreciated.
