Hi

I haven't been able to reproduce hostapd freeze.
However, I after some two hours stations deauthenticate with hostapd and they 
do not authenticate again even when restarted, I need to restart hostapd.

I have attached hostapd log file with station trying to reauthenticate after 
station restart.
I have also two hours long strace log, tcpdump, hostapd_cli and iw dev wlan2 
station dump.
I can put it on the net if anyone would like to check what is going on.

Best Regards
Marek
