Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hostapd
Hostapd is a little too aggressive in kicking stations which send data immediately after authentication. Certain wireless cards seem to exacerbate this. You end up with lots of "Data/PS-poll frame from not associated STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" getting logged, and the station never being able to authenticate. This patch (apparently from April) appears to solve this issue: http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commitdiff;h=b8281964afb1df98135418fc22a9fa240968d100 It's a quite small and straightforward patch, and there seems to be very little potential for regression. Is there a reason this hasn't been applied? Should I take this issue upstream?
