Package: hostapd
Version: 2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-6+deb10u2

Hi,
I'm trying to use my new WLAN / Wi-Fi USB adapter via Debian-10 to set
up an access point (master / ap /infrastructure mode).

Sadly that doesn't work on Debian-10.
After a few minutes the client is always disconnected with hostapd
telling me:
handle_probe_req: send failed

On the other hand the device works great with Debian-11 (testing) and
also openSUSE-15.2.

I've tried using a backports Linux-5.7 kernel and I tried hostapd-2.9
(hostapd-2.9 compiled from source). None of both helped to solve the bug.
So I'm actually not sure it's the fault of hostapd. But I just don't
know what else could make the difference to Debian-11 (testing). So I'm
opening this bug for hostapd.

I've tested the USB device with different hosts.
And even if Debian is being run inside Qemu it's always the same
(regardless of the Qemu host os)
I've even made positive and negative tests with Debian-10 and Debian-11
inside Qemu and the results are always the same.


I attached the "hostapd -d ..." output as file.

It's probably equivalent to the: Panda Wireless PAU09
(at least it looks exactly the same, except the labeling)

I tested several variations of this. Including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz modes.
I just didn't test it without encryption.


Interestingly I've had a very similar problem before with another USB
WLAN adapter.

ALFA Network AWUS036ACH - 802.11ac AC1200

It has no upstream driver, so I used aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
Interestingly it showed very similar problems on Debian-10 and also
works fine with Debian-11 (testing) and openSUSE-15.2.
I've opened an issue for aircrack-ng/rtl8812au before. But after finding
out that the bug only appears on Debian-10, I'm still trying to gather
additional details. But I'm hoping it's maybe the same root cause as
with the Ralink RT5572 adapter.
