[Voyage-linux] AP and IOS6

Hi,
I use voyage 0.8 with an ALIX.2D13 and a Wistron DNMA92 (AR9220, ath9).
It is used as an access point, dsl router, dhcp/dns server and for some
other little jobs.

All went fine until Apple came out with IOS6. These devices can connect
to the access point, but after a short time of activity they disconnect
and wifi has to be disabled/enabled on the client. The access point is
running with the distributed hostapd with 801.11n enabled. If I disable
11n in hostapd's config all runs fine again. 11n is needed for a
streaming client...

Looking into apple boards this seems to be a common problem with some
APs since IOS6. I tried some other APs in the meantime - all went fine
with these i* clients.

Is anyone out there running a similar config with working IOS6 devices
in 801.11n? I wouldn't like to operate an additional AP, but I'm running
out of ideas.

Any hints for fixing or debugging this annoying thing?

regards,
Ingo
