For hostaps it is neither. Use hostap@lists.shmoo.com.

Could you please re-test with the current hostap.git snapshot?

I would assume the clients could still re-associate if you were to
manually request them to do so. They may not do this automatically until
the STA entry in hostapd times out (though, with the change I just added
to hostap.git, this happens immediately in case of SIGHUP).

Fixed.

> 3. Another minor thing. Actually a suggestion, hostapd does not need to re-config if configuration file is not changed. This is preferred because when hostapd controls multiple radios (e.g hostapd radio1.conf radio2.conf), it’s desirable that service on other radio is not disrupted when one of the conf is changed. 

How frequently are you changing the configuration? Is this really a big
enough issue to justify extra complexity in figuring out whether the
configuration has changed? Anyway, an easier approach would be to add a
new control interface command RECONFIGURE (which is already available in
wpa_supplicant) which would allow the reconfiguration to be done
separately for a single radio.

The client was probably in sleep state when the AP sent out the
broadcast Deauthentication frames or for some other reason missed it at
the time. It should be able to reassociate after the timeout, though.. I
did not see issues with this in my tests.

Please let me know if you can still reproduce this after having updated
hostapd to the current hostap.git snapshot.

Strange.. I have been unable to reproduce this. What kind of hostapd
configuration are you using?

Thanks Jouni,

I tested the source in jit (git clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostp.git)
Here is the feedback.

1. FIXED: hostapd "segmentation fault" goes away for now.
2. FIXED: If hostap conf (ar9380-pair) is NOT changed, SIGHUP works well now. I see client is deauthenticated and reconnect well.

3. ISSUE: if conf is changed (I toggle channel between 40 and 48), then hostapd, after SIGHUP, can not associate with clients any more. This is still an issue. The difference than previous test is that "killall -SIGUSR1 hostapd" followed by "cat /tmp/hostapd.dump" does show that old client is gone.
Even for a new client added, the connection won't create. Restarting hostapd make both clients connect well. So the problem is not on client side.

I paste the screenshot of clients in the end. Both clients complain about the same thing.


Regarding my configuration file,

1. Both AP (ar9380-pair) and client (ar9380-sta) are attached. They are pretty simple. You may diff it with the default template to see the difference.

2. In real deployment, the hostapd conf won't change frequently. The concern for me is that I have multiple (up to 4) radios to control (hostapd -B radio1.conf radio2.conf). When I configure one radio, it's really a headache that the services of the other 3 radios are disrupted. It's very desirable to "not reconfigure if conf is not changed". I think the easiest way can be as follows.
a. hostapd keeps info of "file modification time" of each file.
b. on receiving SIGHUP, only interfaces with newer "file modification time" are reconfigured.

Could you please re-test with the current hostap.git snapshot?

I would assume the clients could still re-associate if you were to
manually request them to do so. They may not do this automatically until
the STA entry in hostapd times out (though, with the change I just added
to hostap.git, this happens immediately in case of SIGHUP).

Fixed.

> 3. Another minor thing. Actually a suggestion, hostapd does not need to re-config if configuration file is not changed. This is preferred because when hostapd controls multiple radios (e.g hostapd radio1.conf radio2.conf), it’s desirable that service on other radio is not disrupted when one of the conf is changed. 

How frequently are you changing the configuration? Is this really a big
enough issue to justify extra complexity in figuring out whether the
configuration has changed? Anyway, an easier approach would be to add a
new control interface command RECONFIGURE (which is already available in
wpa_supplicant) which would allow the reconfiguration to be done
separately for a single radio.

The client was probably in sleep state when the AP sent out the
broadcast Deauthentication frames or for some other reason missed it at
the time. It should be able to reassociate after the timeout, though.. I
did not see issues with this in my tests.

Please let me know if you can still reproduce this after having updated
hostapd to the current hostap.git snapshot.

Fixed.

Strange.. I have been unable to reproduce this. What kind of hostapd
configuration are you using?

# ephemeral DH keys. This can be used to achieve forward secrecy. If the file
# is in DSA parameters format, it will be automatically converted into DH
# params. This parameter is required if anonymous EAP-FAST is used.

# Maximum number of entries kept in AP table (either for neigbor table or for
# detecting Overlapping Legacy BSS Condition). The oldest entry will be
# removed when adding a new entry that would make the list grow over this
# limit. Note! WFA certification for IEEE 802.11g requires that OLBC is
# enabled, so this field should not be set to 0 when using IEEE 802.11g.
# default: 255
#ap_table_max_size=255

# Number of seconds of no frames received after which entries may be deleted
# from the AP table. Since passive scanning is not usually performed frequently
# this should not be set to very small value. In addition, there is no
# guarantee that every scan cycle will receive beacon frames from the
# neighboring APs.
# default: 60
#ap_table_expiration_time=3600


##### Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) #############################################

# WPS state
# 0 = WPS disabled (default)
# 1 = WPS enabled, not configured
# 2 = WPS enabled, configured
#wps_state=2

# AP can be configured into a locked state where new WPS Registrar are not
# accepted, but previously authorized Registrars (including the internal one)
# can continue to add new Enrollees.
#ap_setup_locked=1

# Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID; see RFC 4122) of the device
# This value is used as the UUID for the internal WPS Registrar. If the AP
# is also using UPnP, this value should be set to the device's UPnP UUID.
# If not configured, UUID will be generated based on the local MAC address.
#uuid=12345678-9abc-def0-1234-56789abcdef0

# Note: If wpa_psk_file is set, WPS is used to generate random, per-device PSKs
# that will be appended to the wpa_psk_file. If wpa_psk_file is not set, the
# default PSK (wpa_psk/wpa_passphrase) will be delivered to Enrollees. Use of
# per-device PSKs is recommended as the more secure option (i.e., make sure to
# set wpa_psk_file when using WPS with WPA-PSK).

# When an Enrollee requests access to the network with PIN method, the Enrollee
# PIN will need to be entered for the Registrar. PIN request notifications are
# sent to hostapd ctrl_iface monitor. In addition, they can be written to a
# text file that could be used, e.g., to populate the AP administration UI with
# pending PIN requests. If the following variable is set, the PIN requests will
# be written to the configured file.
#wps_pin_requests=/var/run/hostapd_wps_pin_requests

# Device Name

#device_name=Wireless AP

# Manufacturer
# The manufacturer of the device (up to 64 ASCII characters)
#manufacturer=Company

# Model Name

# Serial Number
# Serial number of the device (up to 32 characters)

# Primary Device Type
# Used format: <categ>-<OUI>-<subcateg>
# categ = Category as an integer value
# OUI = OUI and type octet as a 4-octet hex-encoded value; 0050F204 for
#       default WPS OUI
# subcateg = OUI-specific Sub Category as an integer value
# Examples:
#   1-0050F204-1 (Computer / PC)
#   1-0050F204-2 (Computer / Server)
#   5-0050F204-1 (Storage / NAS)

#device_type=6-0050F204-1

# OS Version

# Config Methods
# List of the supported configuration methods
# Available methods: usba ethernet label display ext_nfc_token int_nfc_token
#	nfc_interface push_button keypad
#config_methods=label display push_button keypad

# Static access point PIN for initial configuration and adding Registrars
# If not set, hostapd will not allow external WPS Registrars to control the
# access point. The AP PIN can also be set at runtime with hostapd_cli
# wps_ap_pin command. Use of temporary (enabled by user action) and random
# AP PIN is much more secure than configuring a static AP PIN here. As such,
# use of the ap_pin parameter is not recommended if the AP device has means for
# displaying a random PIN.
#ap_pin=12345670

# Skip building of automatic WPS credential
# This can be used to allow the automatically generated Credential attribute to
# be replaced with pre-configured Credential(s).
#skip_cred_build=1

# Additional Credential attribute(s)
# This option can be used to add pre-configured Credential attributes into M8
# message when acting as a Registrar. If skip_cred_build=1, this data will also
# be able to override the Credential attribute that would have otherwise been
# automatically generated based on network configuration. This configuration
# option points to an external file that much contain the WPS Credential
# attribute(s) as binary data.
#extra_cred=hostapd.cred

# Credential processing
#   0 = process received credentials internally (default)
#   1 = do not process received credentials; just pass them over ctrl_iface to
#	external program(s)
#   2 = process received credentials internally and pass them over ctrl_iface
#	to external program(s)
# Note: With wps_cred_processing=1, skip_cred_build should be set to 1 and
# extra_cred be used to provide the Credential data for Enrollees.
#
# wps_cred_processing=1 will disabled automatic updates of hostapd.conf file
# both for Credential processing and for marking AP Setup Locked based on
# validation failures of AP PIN. An external program is responsible on updating
# the configuration appropriately in this case.
#wps_cred_processing=0

# AP Settings Attributes for M7
# By default, hostapd generates the AP Settings Attributes for M7 based on the
# current configuration. It is possible to override this by providing a file
# with pre-configured attributes. This is similar to extra_cred file format,
# but the AP Settings attributes are not encapsulated in a Credential
# attribute.
#ap_settings=hostapd.ap_settings

# WPS UPnP interface
# If set, support for external Registrars is enabled.
#upnp_iface=br0

# Friendly Name (required for UPnP)
# Short description for end use. Should be less than 64 characters.
#friendly_name=WPS Access Point

# Manufacturer URL (optional for UPnP)
#manufacturer_url=http://www.example.com/

# Model Description (recommended for UPnP)
# Long description for end user. Should be less than 128 characters.
#model_description=Wireless Access Point

# Model URL (optional for UPnP)
#model_url=http://www.example.com/model/

# Universal Product Code (optional for UPnP)
# 12-digit, all-numeric code that identifies the consumer package.
#upc=123456789012

##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
#
# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
#
# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
# administered bit)
#
# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
#
# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
#
#bss=wlan0_0
#ssid=test2
# most of the above items can be used here (apart from radio interface specific
# items, like channel)

#bss=wlan0_1
#bssid=00:13:10:95:fe:0b
