hostapd groupkey problem with madwifi

[Whoopie]

Hi,
since I?m searching for a solution for the EAPOL-Key timeout, your advice 
was very helpful.
But the connection crashes after about 10 seconds and doesn?t come back. The 
connection speed falls down to1 Mbit/s. Could you perhaps give another 
advice how to fix it.

Kind Regards,
Whoopie
