Runningt hostapd in verbose mode screams MGMT (TX callback) fail (in fact, it manages to do 1 ack, the rest are failures). Now, for the record, hostapd is configured to run as an open AP, the most basic configuration you can think of. When analyzing the actual responses (tcpdumping on the mon.wlan0 iface, using wireshark to disect), I discovered that the probe responses for a SSID broadcast had the WEP bit and the Fragmentation bit set, consistently, for all probe responses. Somehow I dont think that frame of 81 bytes needs either bits set. Does anyone know wether this falls in the category mac80211, hostapd bug, or rt2x00 bug? kind regards, Eric N.B. According to the rt2x00 project admin, rt2x00 doesnt touch the ieee80211 header. (see http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4969 ). N.B2. I'm currently not subscribed to the mailinglist, please keep me in the cc, thank you.
