Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.10-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
I'm running hostapd in bridge mode with a TP-Link Model No. TL-WN951N wifi card.
lspci says:
00:0a.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
There are a few devices connected through this wifi router. (Logitech Squuezeboxes, Smartphones, Netbooks, Laptops and so on...)
But only a Samsung Galaxy SII and a ASUS eeePC has problems with this configuration.
The main problem seems to me the reconnection.
Here are a short log when the Galaxy SII is unable to connect or better to say it lost the connection to the access point:

After that I must disable and enable the wifi connection on the Galaxy.
With the eeePC I had the same problem, but with this netbook it happend after a hour or so that the hole hostapd goes down.
The daemon is still running but every device is unable to connect and I must do a complete reboot of the router.
If you need more information or more logs let me know.
