    Hello,

    I used default /etc/rc.d/init.d/hostapd script to start access point as 802.11g.

    Did someone tried 802.11n? What should be content of /etc/hostapd.conf file? Will wl12xx driver support 802.11n?

    Some info

    If you want to be an access point on the 5GHz, you'll need to upgrade to our latest BSP 2.4-4.

    In it, it has some updates including some significant WiFi driver updates along with an updated regulatory database for US and Canada. Our BSP includes some scripts for setting up the hostapd.conf file to make things easier for you.

    If you're logged into our support site, you'll find the latest User Guide located here: http://support.logicpd.co...talid=0&EntryId=1392

    Section 4.13.2 will walk you through the steps to setup the SOM as an access point and it will configure hostapd.conf for you.

    Thank you.

    Can I use BSP 2.4-4 with -30 and -31 Torpedo versions?

    Yes you can. The 2.4-4 is required for the -32 SOM, but it's backward compatible with the older versions as well.
