[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#536630: hostapd destroys IPv6 configuration on managed interface

[Alexander Tsoy]

I also have this issue. Easy workaround for it that works at least on
wheezy:

1. Disable autostart of hostapd via init script

$ grep DAEMON_CONF /etc/default/hostapd 
# Uncomment and set DAEMON_CONF to the absolute path of a hostapd configuration
#DAEMON_CONF=""

2. Edit interfaces file as follow:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

iface wlan0 inet6 static
    address xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x::x
    netmask 64
