Same results from me. Only rc2 works reliably.<br><br>My configuration is: AP with atheros Wistron CM9, hostapd setup with WPA2-PSK with TKIP.<br>Clients used for testing are two laptops with ralink chipset and two desktop pcs with atheros (all running microsoft OS). I also have same problems without the use of hostap (no securitu or wep security). The only thing I haven't tried yet is using the ath0 interface alone (I am using a bridge interface with ath0 and eth0 as br0).<br>

Hi Punky,<br>
<br>
following my test results:<br>
<br>
r3942.20090205haltesting<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
I started a download and after 60s the download failed and the connection to the AP<br>
breaks. After reconnect the download failed again and a connect with a another client<br>
is not possible (stuck beacon error).<br>

r3942hal<br>
--------<br>
after a few seconds, the connection breaks. I can't reconnect to the AP - only a hostapd restart helped.<br>

<br>
r3952.20090213free<br>
------------------<br>
behave exactly the same as the r3942hal<br>
Feb 24 20:04:06 alix hostapd: ath0: STA 00:1e:c2:b9:21:36 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request<br>
<br>
<br>
Is this a problem with madwifi or hostapd or interaction with both ?!<br>
<br>
