I think the problem is described here: <http://groups.google.de/groups?q=rtnl_lock&start=50&hl=de&lr=&scoring=d&selm=20030412090014%246421%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=53>. The basic is that: register_netdevice() is called under rtnl_lock. It calls net_run_sbin_hotplug() which ends up waiting on ifconfig. But ifconfig needs rtnl_lock. I wonder how anyone get hostapd runnig with prism54. I tried with kernel 2.4.27 and will try kernel 2.4.29 in a few days. -- Claas Hilbrecht http://www.jucs-kramkiste.de
