It seems that when I put these options to hostapd.conf
it stopped to freeze:
wpa_group_rekey=0
wep_rekey_period=0

second one is probably not necessary since I use wpa ?
Now, I have also turned off isc-dhcp-server and now modules have static IP

I will continue to test this config for the next week I suppose,
so I will check hostapd with strace, and or gdb when it freeze.
I will try also wifi sniffer, can You recommend something ?
