Hi,

I encontered a very strange problem with following setting:

 Hostap driver 0.2.4, Linux2.4, and WindowsXP as a client. The problem comes
when I turn on i802.1x authentication by using freeradius. The authentication method
is PEAP.

 In fact everything works pretty well. The i802.1x authentication works fine,
but several seconds after the i802.1x authentication finishs, XP always sends
out a ieee802.11 "deauthentication" frame with reason code 3:(Station has left
the basic service area..)

last part of the log looks:
IEEE 802.1X: 00:09:5b:69:64:e7 BE_AUTH entering state SUCCESS

Is this an XP problem, or AP problem?
