Please try to create a monitor interface on the rt73usb AP after setting it up: # iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor and run a tcpdump on that (with XX:...:XX replaced by the MAC address of your client): # tcpdump -i mon0 "ether src XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" Do you see any frames from your specific client?
