multicast group assignments fixed
The kernel was incorrectly assigning multicast groups for the `nl80211` protocol, causing problems with `nl80211` wireless drivers, for example, preventing `hostapd` from starting and initializing wireless devices in Access Point mode. This update fixes multicast group assignments for `nl80211` and allows wireless devices to be managed correctly.

*** Bug 1253751 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thanks. Has anyone tried with the new 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6 kernel? Sadly I can't try it on my box because is a production server.. (In reply to Martín Oyola from comment #4) > Has anyone tried with the new 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6 kernel? Sadly I can't try > it on my box because is a production server.. Hello Martin, Just tried the new 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6 kernel and still hostapd not starting with following error : nl80211: Could not add multicast membership for scan events: -2 (No such file or directory) *** Bug 1251726 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release. *** Bug 1285094 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-593.el6 So that means the patch won't be available until RHEL 6.8 is released, right? No, it will be available on RHEL 6.7 kernel update too (bz 1291978). Not fixed by https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-2636.html Installed RHEL-6.8-20160125.0 on a test system and installed hostapd. After manually configuring hostapd I was able to start the service successfully. Using another test system I was able to connect to the hostapd SSID and successfully ping the hostapd system.
