[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#568181: hostapd: does not report errors

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.5.10-1
Severity: important


When running starting hostapd fails the hostapd error is not logged anywhere.

It does not appear on the terminal where the start is attempted not is it logged in /var/log/daemon.log nor in any other log file I searched.

Running hostapd manually with the parameters used in the init script shows the error.
