      The PID file does not have to be generated manually, it is created by the hostapd process where the location of the file is specified using the -P parameter.

        Thanks you are correct and thanks… I manually ran the lines in the setup file and it generated the pid file.  Now when I disable and enable the Wireless interface it comes right back up.  It should have done this without me having to run it manually but at least it's working agian.  Should have tried that first.  Many Thanks for all the good work.

          Now on 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Wed Jan 30 04:20:39 EST 2013 - which has the fixed up code to start hostapd with a PID file. WiFi and all is working fine and secured. But I still have this in syslog amongst the startup:

          Jan 30 16:10:08 	php: : The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'ath0_wlan0' country 'NP' 'indoor'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument'
          

          I have no idea if this is a "normal" message that has been there for months, or something recent - I guess it pays to look through boot logs when eberything is working, as well as when there are evident problems :) When I have a little more time I will track down how/why it is generated.
          Can anyone say if this is a "normal" feature of the boot process or something special to my Alix2D13 with ath0 WiFi card?

          Its not normal as I run almost the same hardware and I don't get that. There is something still wrong with WiFi that's y I get a different message on 2 hardwares

              You are bridging Wifi-LAN and not routing Wifi-LAN correct? I'm wondering if I should skip updating from an older snap until this is sorted…

                My wifi seems to work fine now.  But I did have an issue similar about bridge only working with internet on Mulit-Wan Group but the bridge of LAN1, LAN2 LAN3, LAN4, WLAN1  not seeing the each other on the bridge.  I finially figured out and changed under System -> Advanced -> System Tunables -> Tunable Name -> net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge back to 0 and all went to working correctly again.  I also checked the box of System -> Advanced -> Firewall and NAT -> Disable reply-to but not real sure if this had any effect on things.

                  i tried the newest snap just today again and it seems to work fine now, saving under wifi brings back wifi back to normal without issues
