I have an issue with HOSTAPD drooping clients. I have tried two
different scenarios: 1 as a full router with AP and 2 as a wifi
bridge. I am using a raspberry pi. I used the HOSTAPD published by
adafruit. It includes wifi card drivers. I have tried several things
to try to fix it even using haveged to try to fix entropy but in all
cases it stops allowing clients but the services itself does not not
stop. I get the following entries in syslog:

I do hope that there is actually a fix for this. I have opened threads
on many support sites but no one has been able to help. Can someone
help please?
