[ath9k-devel] hostapd not sending beacons, and no traffic.

[Karl Hiramoto <karl@hiramoto.org>]

If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it.  I thin the issue may be with the TX, but I'm not sure where 
to look next. I'm willing to test any patches. 

Using wireless-testing from today, but the same occurs on 2.6.30-rc6

I simplified my test case and what fails still is copying from one 
interface to another when routing.   I  now have no bridges.

Downloading a 40MB file from a http server on eth1 lan   to  wifi client 
on  access point  wlan0_0,     The connection at some point of the http 
file download fails.  Usually I can download at least 300KB of data before the error occurs.
