Hi there.
After updating and rebooting my ClearOS router today, the wireless access point stoped working.
I had a working wireless ap for over a year or so, until the update I have done today.
I absolutely did not touch my working configuration files and found nothing helpful at the system log.
I'm currently running ClearOS Community release 6.6.0 with the 2.6.32-573.1.1.v6.i686 Kernel on a Jetway JBC372F36W-2600-B. The Wireless Access Point app is at version 1.5.0-1.
Every time I click start at the Wireless Access Point app it switches back to stopped state and I have absolutely no idea why, cause I couldn't find anything helpful at the log files.
Please could someone tell me, if my configurations are not valid any more, or where I can find some helpful log files?
I have listed my configurations below.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Hi, I have seen the same problem with my wifi card RT2790.
It's not a problem of wifi card but a bug between this kernel and hostapd.
It's corrected on the kernel 2.6.32-593 but I don't find this kernel for teh clearod/centos 6.7
So I have installed the kernel-lt 3.10.96 for elrepo and youpi it works.
You can see all the process (in french sorry) here :https://www.prestaopen.com/informatique-prestaopen/clearos-correction-maj.html
Link changed and repaired

There is a bug from upstream that breaks hostapd. The current workaround is to reboot the ClearOS server and select the older kernel on the list when you are in GRUB. There is a new kernel being built right now that has some upstream backported fixes that may fix this (or it may not.) We will have some instructions for people affected by this to test later today. After you reboot to this older kernel, please backup the older kernel and initrd so that the test kernel doesn't obsolete you completely from a kernel that may be working. -

If you want to use any ClearOS kernel above 2.6.32-573.3.1 you have to apply a the patch from red hat and compile your own kernel.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1069994
I've tested it on
2.6.32-573.3.1
2.6.32-573.8.1
2.6.32-573.12.1
