Has anyone gotten cubox-i4 pro to work as an AP?

Hi there,

 

I see `iw list` is showing that the i4 pro's internal chip supports AP mode. [1]

 

 

However, when I  try to run `/usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf` it errors out with no driver entry or driver=nl80211 in hostapd.conf [2]

Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf

Failed to create interface mon.wlan0: -95 (Operation not supported)

wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE

wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver

Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 40:2c:f4:ae:16:c6 and ssid "aa"

Failed to set beacon parameters

wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver

Interface initialization failed

wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->DISABLED

wlan0: AP-DISABLED

wlan0: Unable to setup interface.

hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

So, seeing that lshw shows the `brcmfmac` driver, I set driver=brcmfmac to be greeted with:

Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf

Line 8: invalid/unknown driver 'brcmfmac'

1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd.conf'

Failed to set up interface with /etc/hostapd.conf

Failed to initialize interface

I'm currently on 4.5.2-cubox kernel. brcmfmac shows up in lsmod.

 

 

Anyone figured out how to set up an AP using the internal broadcom chip? I'm at a loss.
