ok somebody already posted something about this problem but i didnt keep
that message

somebody reported problem that he lost some clients when his IP comes up on
interface

so i have this problem
i set up wlan3 before wlan3 IP comes up

iwpriv wlan3 reset 1
    iwpriv wlan3 reset 2
    iwconfig wlan3 mode master essid cobraac channel 5 retry 30 txpower 2
    iwpriv wlan3 maccmd 1
        iwpriv wlan3 addmac 00:06:25:1B:C2:6A # cobra
    iwpriv wlan3 addmac 00:02:72:02:47:68 # murin
    iwpriv wlan3 addmac 00:02:72:02:F5:DF # murin2
       iwpriv wlan3 wds_add 00:02:72:02:47:68 # murinAP
    iwpriv wlan3 wds_add 00:02:72:02:F5:DF # murinAP2


ok after wlan3 is up, wlan3wds0 is going up ... OK
wlan3wds0 is up and i can ping it
in a moment when wlan3wds1 comes up, i lost wlan3wds0 and i have to run set
up script again to get it back

but if i will up wlan3 and wlan3wds0 during boot time and wlan3wds1 i will
up manualy after boot
client on wlan3wds0 will not get lost

there is no any single command starting on IW in wlan3wds0(1) init script
i do not see any problems with bad broadcast or subnet mask

once i restart wlan3 , i can stop/start wds0(1) and client on wlan3wds0 will
everytime comeback

any tip ?

i have one more machine with 4 wds clients... but they do run w/o problem
its not may be bug in hostap ... may be some combination of sumfing ?
there is no any single msg in syslog

regards tomas
