e authentication frames from the AP.  However, I guess since all traffic is=
 stalled, perhaps this is just a symptom of the root problem.  I'm trying t=
o determine if this might be some kind of unicast vs. multicast, or bridge,=
 or nl80211, or bandwidth issue.

I have captured normal and debug logs + tcpdump output both during normal o=
peration and during the problem, and would very much appreciate any help an=
yone would be willing to offer!

Configuration snippet:

interface=3Dath1
driver=3Dnl80211
bridge=3Deth2
ssid=3DWG-Switzerland
ignore_broadcast_ssid=3D0
bssid=3D00:90:7f:8b:13:e6
wpa=3D2
eapol_version=3D2
wpa_passphrase=3D*********
wpa_key_mgmt=3DWPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=3DCCMP
beacon_int=3D200
wpa_group_rekey=3D86400
wpa_gmk_rekey=3D86400
wpa_strict_rekey=3D0
hw_mode=3Dg
ieee80211n=3D1
channel=3D5
rts_threshold=3D2346
fragm_threshold=3D2346
wme_enabled=3D1

and the bridge looks like this:

bridge name	bridge id		STP enabled	interfaces
eth2		8000.00907f8b13e2	no		eth2-phy
							ath1


Here is what a normal association and authentication looks like, when the p=
roblem is not occurring:

And here is what it looks like during the traffic-stall/failed association/=
authentication problem:
