hostapd-0.6.8 + madwifi + bridge + WPA-PSK

Sat Feb 21 02:22:12 PST 2009

Hi,

I seem to be experiencing problems when setting up an AP with WPA-PSK  
when ath0 is connected to a bridge. I've tested it with all the latest  
stable versions which all suffer from the problem.

I've set up hostap like this, enabling the bridge option like I should.

interface=ath0
bridge=br0
driver=madwifi
ssid=wpa-test
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=********
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP

The problem does not exist when I remove ath0 from the bridge ... off  
course I need it to be bridged for my specific setup.

Anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I get the impression  
that hostap is not receiving any of the security messages.

Some output:
