App-wireless is ready for testing in the marketplace. I've added error checking for valid SSID and passphrases. I also added lookups to attempt to properly identify your Wireless NIC that you want to use. You can connect it to the local RADIUS server or use it with a pre-shared key. I'm interesting in people testing it out and letting me know if they have success or problems before it is re-added to the ClearOS Marketplace.

To install this beta version run the following from command line:

yum install --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing app-wireless

Still no ETA as far as I know. The ClearOS 7 wireless solution is not yet shipping on ClearBOX.

Hi Ray,

Hey,
recently installed clear 7, but am missing app-wireless (hostapd) support... in clear 6 u could get it via yum install app-wireless in terminal.
Will it come, or will it never come? If not, can I take hostap from somewhere else?

app-wireless is a byproduct of the ClearBOX hardware solution, and that will come after the initial ClearOS 7 released. It certainly won't be dropped!

Can you not install hostapd using yum and the "--enablerepo=clearos-epel" switch?

Workaround: Just install http://pkgs.org/centos-7/epel-x86_64/hostapd-2.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm.html and configure /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf accordingly.
change lanif in /etc/clearos/network.conf if your local network interface has changed, or is a bridge or some other device now - it won't change itself.

at least a clearos repo would be much appreciated.
Thank you
