Problem connecting to hostapd AP

Hi.

  I have the following problem.
  Devices:
    - TEW-632 (ath9k) router with latest openwrt
    - Dell laptop with intel 5300 card and Ubuntu
    - Macbook pro.

  I experience disconnects from my AP several times a day and some
times (~once a day) clients cannot reconnect back. I mean all clients
cannot connect. Bellow I have logs from AP and Ubuntu client in a
situation when no client can connect to AP. Could you please have a
look and tell me whether this is hostapd problem or wireless driver
problem? Or may be some other problem. Thanks in advance!
