AR928X Atheros in Master Mode under Karmic

Sun Oct 18 04:57:39 PDT 2009

Hi i hope you guys can give me a hand :),
a week ago i bought a nano ITX Board with a AR928X chip integrated, i want
to build a Wlan AP / Router / Mediaserver etc with it.

I installed Ubunut 9.10 on it and tried to make an AP with hostapd (9.2 in
ubuntu repository),
My Problem is that after some time i lost connection and cant reconnect, if
i turn wlan down before connection lost and try to reconnect it wont work
too :(.

I also tried to compile the newest Version of hostapd (yesterday), and still
got the same problems, mayby you can help me with this. I really need this
wlan AP :( .

Please help me, mayby there's a hack or a working version :-/

this is my configuration file:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=TomsWLan
hw_mode=g
channel=11
auth_algs=1 #1

ieee80211n=1
ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40]

macaddr_acl=0

wpa=2 #2
wpa_passphrase=imbapass
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

wme_enabled=0

This is a log from startup:
