Description Xavier Bachelot 2017-03-23 15:48:45 UTC
Description of problem:
hostapd in Fedora 24 is built w/o ACS support, unlike hostapd in Fedora 25.

From the F25 changelog :
* Tue Apr 19 2016 Sascha Spreitzer <sspreitz> - 2.5-3
- Enable ACS feature (automatic channel switching)

Could the f25 branch be merged into f24 and hostapd rebuilt please ?
I verified it builds and run as expected with ACS support (using "fedpkg --release f24 mockbuild" from the f25 branch)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hostapd-2.5-2.fc24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install hostapd
2. configure it to use ACS
3. start hostapd

Actual results:
Log extract with F24 build :

systemd[1]: Starting Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator...
hostapd[1502]: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

systemd[1]: hostapd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Stopped Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator.

Expected results:
Log extract with F25 branch rebuilt for F24 :

systemd[1]: Starting Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator...
hostapd[7366]: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
hostapd[7366]: ACS: Automatic channel selection started, this may take a bit
hostapd[7366]: wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ACS
hostapd[7366]: wlan0: ACS-STARTED
systemd[1]: Started Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator.


Additional info:
I am confident everything is there, but I guess a "thank you in advance" won't hurt :-)
