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.
