Hi,

since the last upgrade hostapd doesn't start anymore, returning
"Could not set DTIM period for kernel driver"
 Downgrading to 0.6.9-3 makes things right again.
The upstream bug is http://w1.fi/bugz/show_bug.cgi?id=344
It seems that the 0.6 branch is considered almost dead, so maybe you could
consider switching to the 0.7 before the freeze...
Cheers,

Luca
