Bug#576213: linux-image-2.6.32-3-686: ath5k stops working in AP mode after a few minutes
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
After running my wireless card (Atheros AR5414 chip) in AP mode using hostapd (0.6.10-2) I start getting the following messages and wireless networking stops working at all until I restart hostapd.
I found a related discussion where someone offers a patch that fixes the problem. I haven't tried this patch myself. Link to this discussion: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/47278
