WDS & hostapd port authorization

[Slobodan Tomic]

  Hi,

  I have setup with two (and more) APs using WDS. Everything is bridged
(wlan0 and wlan0wds0 at each AP) and everything works perfectlly. But if
I use hostapd at each AP (with or without 802.1X) wlan0wds0 is blocked
by each hostapd because that port is not authorized, even if I put MAC
addresses of other APs in /etc/hostapd.accept. Is this bug in hostap[d]
or have I missed something?

  I am using latest hostap from cvs (2003-05-18), SparkLAN PCI cards
with firmwares pri: 1.1.0 and sta: 1.5.6 (uploaded to RAM over 1.4.9
with prism2_srec). I have included some dmesg output which might help.

  Regards,
  st

[ this is where hostapd start and then bring up second AP ]
