deassociated / associated

[Joachim Schiele]

Dear listmembers,

Using hostapd I can't ping the server side.
So here is what I did:

1. ./hostapd madwifi.conf &
2.  ifconfig ath0 192.168.178.10 up

on a client in issue then:
3. iwlist s 
and i can see the access point up & running
4. iwconfig ath0 ap st:ra:ng:e0
5. iwconfig ath0 essid "foobar"
now i can see that it gets associated on the server side but after pinging or 
whatever i get deassociated again, associated, dis... and so on.
6. ifconfig ath0 192.168.178.5

Using wpa_supplicant I can't ping the hostapd side altough there are messages 
that I'm associated (which can be seen from the iwlist output also).

ping 192.168.178.10 results in a "Destination Host Unreachable"

Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong and I simply can't see it.

Thanks in advice,
Joachim
