Hostap 0.0.4 interrupt problems

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Hi,

I have just compiled and installed Hostap 0.0.4 on my Compaq iPAQ and
initially thought that the driver was failing to work until I did a
manual reset by using "iwpriv wlan0 reset 1". After this the card
started working until it was suspended or removed and reinserted. On the
odd occasion I will insert the card and everything will work from the
off. Neither the orinoco (0.13e) nor the linux-wlan (0.2.1-pre9) drivers
have this problem. I have attached dmesg output of hostap and
linux-wlan.

I also see a problem when downloading a 10Mb file at a high speed (>
500KB/s) using wget. After about two seconds, the transfer will stop,
Hostap will print error messages to the console and the card is not
reset until I try and ping another machine (at which point it
successfully resets the card only to get into trouble again a second or
two later). I have tried the orinoco drivers and they too have a similar
problem (transfer a little bit then lock up and print error messages)
but the orinoco drivers seem more successful at resetting the card
without prompting. However, the linux-wlan drivers don't even lock up in
the first place and can transfer the entire file at speed (> 550KB/s)
without incident. I've attached the dmesg output which occurs during the
transfer.

Can anyone shed any light on the above problems or why linux-wlan
doesn't suffer the lockups the other drivers do when downloading at
speed?
