Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.10-2
Severity: important
Hello,
I am using a 12" powerbook G4 (using the internal BMC4306/3 b43
wireless card) as a NAT/wireless AP/firewall. This worked fairly well
under lenny, with a backported 0.6.10 hostapd from squeeze, though it
would occasionally drop the connection, but restarting hostapd would
clear it up.
Since upgrading to squeeze, I can connect to the AP but the connection
drops out after a few seconds and is not reestablished. DHCP runs and
appears to hand out an IP, but then the wireless link goes stale. The
same behavior is seen whether I have WPA enabled or not.
I can provide a "-ddt" log of a hostapd session, and a section of
the client log during a connection attempt, if desired.
This may be a problem with the b43 driver/firmware, but all of the
information I have about the problem comes from hostapd itself.
Thank you,
John

I have tested this using a BCM4306/3 card using kernel 3.2 and wpa 1.0,
which is working reliably for me. While I'm not certain if this was
actually a bug in hostapd or the kernel (both have seen lots of
development since squeeze), I'll close it for >= wheezy, please reopen,
if this continues to be problematic for you under wheezy.
