hostapd-0.6.8 + madwifi + bridge + WPA-PSK

[Michael Voorhaen]

It seems that my problem doesn't exist when I start hostap as a  
service on my voyage installation. The problem does persist when I  
start it from the command-line with exactly the same configuration  
file. Maybe additional arguments are added by the service script  
somehow. The actual problem still eludes me though.

Regards,
Michael
