Hostapd : The Linux Way to create Virtual Wifi Access Point

140 Comments Posted by nims11 on April 27, 2012

NOTE: Although this guide should work in most cases, it is not flawless and still requires few minor modifications to make the process bug-free. Please do point out corrections and changes.

(After you are done with this post, please do checkout my Python Hostapd Client)
I was recently looking into ways to use my laptop’s wifi adapter as a wireless access point to enable my phone (Nokia E63) and playstation portable to connect to the internet through it. Ad-hoc feature may be used to share internet through wifi, but it doesn’t work with many phones and my PSP. I found connectify and virtual router for Windows which served this purpose, unsatisfactorily. Other than the reasons like Virtual Router not detecting my 3g modem and Connectify (free version) not allowing me to set desired ssid for my virtual access point, the biggest issue with these two was the limited modes available for the access point. Both the programs offered only WPA2-PSK encryption for infrastructure mode and WEP and open encryption for ad-hoc modes. Many devices connect only through infrastructure mode and support for WPA2-PSK is absent in few devices (including the PSP). Also, since I am a Linux user, I needed something else.
This is where hostapd kicks in.

HOSTAPD

“hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers. “

In simple words, hostapd allows you to create software wifi access points allowing decent amount of configuration options. In rest of this post, I will show how to create a software access point in Linux using hostapd and share your internet to the devices through it. I have used my Lenovo Z560 with ath9k wifi driver under Arch Linux and have also tested it under Ubuntu 11.10. But the method is also applicable for other Linux distros and supported hardware.
If the method works/doesn’t work for a non-Atheros wifi card, please do comment.

REQUIREMENTS

• Supported Wireless Card (ie. supports master mode)
• An internet connection you want to share. (not strictly a neccessity)
• A linux distro

CHECKING WIFI CARD SUPPORT

First of all, you will need to find if your wireless card is supported by hostapd.
To check what kernel driver is in use for your wireless card, type the follwing in the terminal

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i "network"

Look for the section in the output which corresponds to your Wireless controller. In my case, it is

06:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 30a1
Kernel driver in use: ath9k

The Bold part is my kernel driver in use. It will vary depending on your wifi card and driver you are using.
Now get the interface details of your wireless driver by

modinfo ath9k | grep 'depend'

replace ath9k by your wifi kernel driver you determined in the last step. In my case, the output was

depends: ath9k_hw,mac80211,ath9k_common,ath,cfg80211

modinfo says my Kernel driver supports mac80211 interface which is supported by hostapd which implies that my wifi card is compatible with hostapd.

Supported wireless cards/drivers

• Linux mac80211 drivers
• Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3
• madwifi (Atheros ar521x)
• BSD net80211 layer (e.g., Atheros driver) (FreeBSD 6-CURRENT)

INSTALLING HOSTAPD

Install Hostapd from your distro’s repo

#Arch Linux
sudo pacman -Sy hostapd
#Ubuntu
sudo  apt-get update && sudo apt-get install hostapd
#Should be available in official repo of your distro

Or Download Hostapd here and compile it.

CONFIGURING HOSTAPD

The /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf is the main configuration which you need to deal with in order to set up a SoftAP.
This is the minimal configuration setting which will let you test if hostapd is working. Create a file ~/hostapd-test.conf
with the following content:

#change wlan0 to your wireless device
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1

start hostapd by

sudo hostapd ~/hostapd-test.conf

Use a wifi device to check if the access point is being detected. You won’t be able to connect to it at present.
Once hostapd is working fine, its time to configure hostapd with more options.
Here is a brief overview of some of its options:

#sets the wifi interface to use, is wlan0 in most cases
interface=wlan0
#driver to use, nl80211 works in most cases
driver=nl80211
#sets the ssid of the virtual wifi access point
ssid=dontMessWithVincentValentine
#sets the mode of wifi, depends upon the devices you will be using. It can be a,b,g,n. Setting to g ensures backward compatiblity.
hw_mode=g
#sets the channel for your wifi
channel=6
#macaddr_acl sets options for mac address filtering. 0 means "accept unless in deny list"
macaddr_acl=0
#setting ignore_broadcast_ssid to 1 will disable the broadcasting of ssid
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
#Sets authentication algorithm
#1 - only open system authentication
#2 - both open system authentication and shared key authentication
auth_algs=1

#####Sets WPA and WPA2 authentication#####
#wpa option sets which wpa implementation to use
#1 - wpa only
#2 - wpa2 only
#3 - both
wpa=3
#sets wpa passphrase required by the clients to authenticate themselves on the network
wpa_passphrase=KeePGuessinG
#sets wpa key management
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#sets encryption used by WPA
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
#sets encryption used by WPA2
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

#################################

#####Sets WEP authentication#####
#WEP is not recommended as it can be easily broken into
wep_default_key=0
wep_key0=qwert    #5,13, or 16 characters
#optionally you may also define wep_key2, wep_key3, and wep_key4

#################################
#For No encryption, you don't need to set any options

So, here is my complete /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf with WPA authentication options.

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=dontMessWithVincentValentine
hw_mode=g
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=KeePGuessinG
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

SETTING UP THE DHCP SERVER

Now that hostapd is running fine, you need to setup a DHCP server to run along with hostapd in order to assign ip address to the devices connecting to the access point. Setting up a dhcp server is quite straightforward.
Install dhcp server from your distro’s repo.

#Arch Linux
sudo pacman -Sy dhcp
#Ubuntu
sudo  apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server
#Fedora
sudo yum -y install dhcp

edit /etc/dhcpd.conf (for arch linux) or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf (for Ubuntu) to

ddns-update-style none;
ignore client-updates;
authoritative;
option local-wpad code 252 = text;

subnet
10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# --- default gateway
option routers
10.0.0.1;
# --- Netmask
option subnet-mask
255.255.255.0;
# --- Broadcast Address
option broadcast-address
10.0.0.255;
# --- Domain name servers, tells the clients which DNS servers to use.
option domain-name-servers
10.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
option time-offset
0;
range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.13;
default-lease-time 1209600;
max-lease-time 1814400;
}

options are easy to understand and you may change it according to your needs (if required).

FINAL STEPS

The final steps involves enabling NAT to share internet in one network interface  with the clients connected through hostapd.
I have included all the steps to configure wlan interface, enable NAT, start DHCP server and hostapd in the BASH script below
Let the name of this file be initSoftAP.
Copy the BASH file below to the file initSoftAP.(and make changes to file according to your system)

#!/bin/bash
#Initial wifi interface configuration
ifconfig $1 up 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
sleep 2
###########Start DHCP, comment out / add relevant section##########
#Thanks to Panji
#Doesn't try to run dhcpd when already running
if [ "$(ps -e | grep dhcpd)" == "" ]; then
dhcpd $1 &
fi
###########
#Enable NAT
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface $2 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface $1 -j ACCEPT

#Thanks to lorenzo
#Uncomment the line below if facing problems while sharing PPPoE, see lorenzo's comment for more details
#iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
#start hostapd
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf 1>/dev/null
killall dhcpd

Script Changes (12/9/12) : Added check for already running dhcpd process (Thanks to Panji), Added an optional line to fix issues related to PPPoE connection sharing (See lorenzo’s comment)
It might be more convenient to use hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf which runs hostapd in background. (Thanks to Enda for pointing out)
Make this file executable, and run it. The syntax for executing it is

./initSoftAP wifi_card_interface interface_with_internet

chmod +x initSoftAP
./initSoftAP wlan0 eth0

The “wifi_card_interface” will be wlan0 most of the cases. For “interface_with_internet“, since I want to share internet from my ethernet network interface, I used eth0. If I ever want to share internet from my 3g modem, I use ppo0. (These values need not be same for everyone)
You may see available network interfaces by

ifconfig -a

Apple iBook G4 Review -- 12-inch Screen Version (pics, specs)

by Jerry Cheung - California USA
Getting an Apple laptop was unthinkable for me at first. I felt nothing from Apple's clever "Switch" ads, and as with many fellow PC/Windows users, I thoughts Macs were for newbies, graphics designers, grannies, and others who couldn't handle more than one mouse button.
However, when I began my quest to purchase an affordable portable, I ran into many problems. The ultraportables and subnotebooks often lacked basic features I wanted such as an optical-drive, and would easily burn a hole in my wallet... several times over. Thin-and-Lights looked very appealing, so I researched that category the most. Some of my favorites include the Fujitsu S6210, IBM T40 series, and Dell 600m. Yet, even the ones I liked didn't work out because they didn't fit my budget (about $1,000).
Then I was introduced to a strange mix of the above. Apple's 12" iBook weighs in at touch under five pounds, but is in the ultraportable form factor. It's too heavy to be an ultraportable, but it's small screen means it doesn't fit with most thin-and-lights. What really caught my attention was the price tag. Other than Averatec, this is the only notebook I came across with a retail price of $999 that came in under 5 pounds. But like any consumer ready to shell out hard-earned money, I was still skeptical.
I continued to do my research and consistently heard good things about the iBook. Finally, Apple and Amazon gave me a sign. In late October, Apple included Airport Extreme (802.11g) and bumped up the base processor to 1.2Ghz. Additionally, Amazon still had a $150 rebate for Apple laptops. It didn't take long for me to figure out that $850 + $20 shipping was a darn good deal. I placed my order on the following and paitiently waited.
Specifications

• 12.1" TFT XGA
• 1.2Ghz G4 processor w/ 512k level 2 cache
• 256MB PC2100 ram, 1 slot available
• 30 GB ATA/100 4200RPM hard drive
• Slot-loading combo drive (DVD/CD-RW)
• 1 FireWire 400 port
• 2 USB 2.0 ports
• VGA Out, S-Video and composite video cable optional
• 56K V.92 modem
• 10/100BASE-T Ethernet
• Airport Extreme 802.11g wireless
• Mac OS X 10.3 Panther
• 90 phone support, 1 year hardware warranty

First Impressions There's not a doubt Apple spends more money on design than its competitors. Just the box itself screams 'gorgeous'. I tore through the packaging like an child on Christmas morning. Underneath all the booklets, manuals, and CDs, I finally got to the iBook. I recommend keeping the thin foam as a screen protector.
Once I turned on the notebook, I was immediately filled with dread. In the upper right corner was a stuck blue pixel. I decided to not think about it, and continue exploring my new toy. (note: all images are of the replacement I received)

The laptop is absolutely gorgeous. Had I not seen the price tag, I would've thought the iBook to be much pricier. The bare simplicity of the notebook is stunning. Other than the obligatory Apple logo on top (which lights up!), there's nothing but rounded edges. No bevels; No latches; No doors. When I hold it in my hands, it feels like holding a polished piece of marble. (in reality: polycarbonate plastic, and magnesium alloy)
The construction is really top grade. Pressing against the back of the reinforced LCD doesn't cause any ripples in the image, nor does flexing the screen between my hands. I'd feel safe putting this notebook in a cramped backpack. The hinge connecting the screen also looks quite beefy and doubles as an exhaust for heat. The slot loading drive is just too cool to describe. Everyone gets mesmerized by how the iBook sucks in CDs. Apple also claims to have rubber-mounted the hard drive to absorb vibrations and impacts.

Inputs and Ergonomics

iBook keyboard (view larger image)
One aspect of the iBook I really enjoy is how comfortable it is to work on it. It's completely silent except at boot up or when reading a CD. The hard drive is only audible in a quiet room with my ear held close to the keyboard. The keyboard is good, but lacks the expensive solid feel IBM keyboards are known for. I also believe that the iBook keyboard is one step down from the Fujitsu S6210, but it is definately way better than Dell keyboards. Keys are fullsize except for the top function keys. I'm grateful for the full size Return, Delete (Backspace), Shift, and Command (equivalent to Windows-key). The trackpad feels just as capable as it's competitors, but I dislike the feel of the single mouse button. It makes a loud cheap plastic "Click!". I've changed to tapping the trackpad instead. To get over only having one-button, it's as easy as holding down Command while clicking. There's also an added bonus of having an internal microphone. For those who dislike the given inputs, the iBook can be custom ordered with internal bluetooth, or one can use one of the two available USB ports to attach external input.

I consider myself to be a PC poweruser and often have multiple applications and windows open on my desktop. I'm very used to working on one document, and then switching over with alt-tab in a Windows environment. Luckily, in this latest version of OS X shipped with the iBooks, Command-tab does the same. What's more is how hotkey friendly OS X is. While command-tabbing, I can tap other keys to have an action done on the highlighted application. I can cmd-tab to an application I no longer want, and tap Q to quit it or H to hide it. There are also hotkeys to open the Applications folder, and my Documents folder.
Display The display is very crisp, and more than bright enough for use indoors and outdoors. The lowest setting turns off backlighting completely. The display didn't have the same wow-factor as the Fujisu S6210, but it's definitely bright and clear. Thanks to the separate ATI video chip, DVDs run without any artifacts, and color representation is sharp. There's also an optional S-Video and Composite adapter available for $20. Unfortunately, there is only screen-mirroring. In order to achieve screen-spanning, there is an a well known hack one can use. Since I don't see myself using this feature, I'd rather not risk it.

the camera does not capture just how crisp the screen looks (view larger image)
Speakers Speakers are just as bad as any other notebook speakers. Tinny, with no bass. They're located just above the keyboard area. Just plug in some headphones and you're all set.
Performance Boot up times are slow at 56 seconds, but once started, the system is very snappy about multitasking. Looking at the specs, it's very obvious that the iBook was targeted at students. The processor and ram can handle basic usage such as web surfing, and document editing. One major difference I noticed about how I work on the iBook is that I leave programs running even when I don't use it. For example, there's a half second delay to fire up Safari browser, but once started, I can open any page even after I've closed the last window and the page will load instantly. Unlike Windows, closing the last window will NOT exit the program on a Mac. While other programs are running in the background, I can have multiple browsers open, chat with friends, and compile my computer science work. There's no discernable delay in the GUI when I switch between applications, and documents open up instantly if the application is already running in the background. If the system ever starts to feel sluggish, I can easily to upgrade the ram myself, as it's right under the Airport Extremecard, which is located under the keyboard. Another solution is to reinstall OS X without all the extras that Apple bundles.
Wireless now comes standard, and while I haven't been able to fully test the range of Airport Extreme, I can reassure that it works flawlessly at my friend's house, on campus, and at local cafes. As with the IBMs, Apple connects it's antenna to the back of it's screen to provide a stronger signal.
Graphics comes in the form of an ATI Mobility 9200. 32MB is plenty for any eye-candy tricks OS X can dish out, but it still holds true that the latest and greatest games will not run on a Mac. Please don't bring up UT2k4 and other titles, because there is just no comparison between the number of titles available for Windows and Mac. Since I don't play games anyways, I feel the graphics system is great.
Storage, on the other hand, I find somewhat lacking. For a reasonable fee, one can customize their iBook to have a 40 or 60 GB hard drive. Apple could've done better in this area and included at least a 40 GB drive as standard. To make matters worse, the preloaded demos and overkill basic configuration that comes as the factory default leaves only 19GB free initially. I recommend doing a clean install of the operating system without the unnecessary extras. The drive spins at 4200RPM, which probably contributes to the slow bootup time, but helps prolong battery life.
Battery Life Here is where the iBook really won me over. With wireless on, and the screen set to the 2nd to dimmest setting, I can continuously work an average of 5 hours before I have to plug it in! Apple estimates 6 hour battery life, and I can see myself getting more than that if I put the iBook to sleep. I do sorely miss the ability to "Hibernate" on 2000/XP systems, but the iBook does obediently sleep whenever the lid is closed or it detects no activity for several minutes. There's even a nifty battery setting in preferences that's specifically made for viewing DVDs. It keeps the hard drive asleep, and the screen and optical drive going. I watched Kill Bill Vol 1 on a full charge and still had half an hour of charge left over to edit this review.
Software I dislike previous versions of Mac OS, but I am very biased since I grew up on Windows and Linux/Unix. OS X has matured a lot and I'm happy to say that I like it. There are numerous reviews online about OS X, so I'd rather not delve to deeply into that area, but I have a couple of good experiences to tell. Out of the box experience with OS X is great. I plugged in my Olympus digicam, my Muvo MP3 player, and my Lexmark USB printer, and they all worked without a hiccup and no setup. Another perk was the included software. Instead of having to install MS Office, AppleWorks does a great job. Development tools are preinstalled, and since OS X is unix-based, there are tons of open-source goodies that are available for free! Try these sites to see what I mean: Version Tracker, Apple Downloads Page, Darwin Ports, Fink.
Support A few days after I discovered the dead pixel, I thought I'd take it in to a local retail store and see how well support is. There was only one "Mac Genius" on duty, so it took two hours before I got a chance to see him. Luckily, one can set an appointment online before going to the store to shorten the wait. The Mac Genius was polite, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He verified my dead pixel by running a series of solid color images through it. He double-checked my information, which he pulled up my info from an Apple database (I registered my iBook as soon as I got it), and reassured me a replacement within 3-5 business days. I absolutely loved how I did not have to show him my receipt, or retell him my info. He knew all of it already. That's the benefit from Apple having such a tight hold on it's products and distribution. All is well now, and I still have the remainder of this year to purchase a 2 year extension to my warranty. I think the $250 extension to AppleCare is probably worth it, and with a student discount, it's only $183!

Pros	Cons
Battery life Durability and design Software, and stability Support Price	Heavy for it's size, slightly thicker than other 12" notebooks Unfamiliar OS (Windows users) Gets dirty easily (palm rests turn black, smudges) Hard to upgrade small capacity hard drive (solution: external hard drive)

Conclusion It's hard to make a direct comparison between the iBook and competing PC products. However, it's clear that Apple has done it's homework and provided an affordable laptop with everything a student needs. I am far from becoming a rabid Apple fanatic, but I can definately understand the strong appeal and value of the new iBook. With or without the student discount, the iBook just cannot be beat for it's price. With the money I saved, I could easily buy upgrades for the iBook, or blow it on other worthwhile gadgets.
