Problem with reauthentication

[Ken Wolstencroft]

I am using the latest cvs version of hostap on Redhat 7.2 with 802.1x and
wep rekeying.
On the station side I am using windows XP with a Dlink DWL-520+.

The 802.1x PEAP authentication works fine.
Wep rekeying is configured for 5 minutes intervals and also works fine.

The problem occurs every hour during the "REAUTH_TIMER entering state
REAUTHENTICATE" process. This process seems to break the network connection
and then takes a long time to reauthenticate, occasionally reauthentication
does not occur.

Can anyone give any pointers to what might be causing this problem, or how
to disable reauthentication.

Thanks,
Ken
