I can confirm that this solves the problem that causes hostapd (running
on rt2500pci) to fail to receive EAPOL key frames from a client that
tries to connect. So you can scratch this one from your todo list,
Johannes.

many thanks, Ivo and Johannes!

unfortunately I still don't have a working AP, since hostapd crashes
when receiving the EAPOL key from the client. I'm still trying to find
out what exactly happens, I'll post more info in a new thread. I'm
inclined to think that the problem lies on the driver side, since this
used to work at the 31st of January this year, with hostapd-0.6.2, which
is the version I've tested with now.
