Hi,

I ran hostap_pci/hostapd successfully for quite some time now with
Linux kernel 2.6.12.5 and externally compiled hostap driver.

However, since switching to Linux 2.6.14.6 and native hostap the
kernel logs are full of messages like

 wifi0: Could not find STA 00:09:5b:91:8c:6d for this TX error (@5798179)
 wifi0: Could not find STA 00:09:5b:91:8c:6d for this TX error (@5799373)

hostapd says:

 wlan0: STA 00:05:4e:4d:c5:a1 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to
     local deauth request
 wlan0: STA 00:05:4e:4d:c5:a1 IEEE 802.11: authenticated

 wlan0: STA 00:05:4e:4d:c5:a1 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to
     local deauth request

I tried both hostap 0.4.5 (debian) and 0.4.7 from
hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd without success.

I will take a look at the changes between driver in 2.6.14.6 and
externally compiled one.  Any idea?

Thx in advance.  /holger
