Hi,
I am using hostapd version 0.6.3. (This same error occurs on 0.5.8.and
0.5.10)
I have been using hostapd successfully for several years with various
stations.
I have trouble connecting a Nokia N95 and Fujitsu Tablet st5112 (running
Fedora 9 with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/3945BG).
In the example of the N95, I get repeated error messages "Too Short Data".
Also - when I enable more debug info it says:

This constant association/disassociation continues repeatedly.
I added a few debug print statements which gave:

I have no trouble at the moment connecting Nokia N93 and E60. (Which are
older phones).
The difference with the connections is that the N95 specifies
listen_interval=20. (The other devices all specify listen_interval=10).
Could this be the problem ?
Does any one else have a similar problem ?
Thankyou.
Talei.
