The AP works fine for now. When it has just started up, though, the first association sometimes drops immediately and has to be redone. Not sure whether this bug is related to the b43 driver or hostapd. I haven't tried stress testing via the AP though, since I only have one client for now. A second is to come later today. What I've tried is, from the client: dd if=/dev/zero |ssh the.ap cat '>'/dev/null for a good hour. The AP didn't seem to mind. I even did casual Internet browsing while doing this and it went fine (no interactivity problems). When I have the second client online, I'll try this command from the first client to the second. > We do have problems when the > channel is saturated, it seems that the BCM device acting as AP stops > sending beacons and the BSS goes down, we need to reconfigure everything > when this happens (I mean, stop and restart hostapd and reset ifaces on > STAs).
