I'm trying to remember what was the exact issue. Could you please give a
short summary of what the problems you have seen are?

If I understood correctly, you are using madwifi+hostapd as the AP and
have both Linux (madwifi+wpa_supplicant) and Windows/MAC clients using
WPA2.

Are you saying that hostapd stops rekeying group keys when both Linux
and Windows/MAC clients are associated, but this does not happen if
either only the Linux client associates or only Windows/MAC clients
associate? Or is rekeying only stopped for one of the clients and the
other clients continue getting new group keys?
