That's clearly something in the hardware, so hostapd is irrelevant here. > I'm using Linux kernel version 2.6.33 on powerpc platform. Hostapd > version is 0.7.3 and wpa_supplicant is 0.7.3 too. The first thing should be to test the card with the latest kernel or with compat-wireless. For Linux wireless drivers, 2.6.33 is stone age :) You can also check the card with MadWifi trunk snapshot. If that works fine, chances are that ath9k does something wrong, otherwise I would suspect the hardware. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
