hostapd possible hang with firmware 1.8.2?

[Ulf Jakobsson]

Hi,

If I do "killall hostapd" and then restart it within 5 sec the hostapd
will not start and an error is shown.

This is happening with firmware 1.8.2, not with 1.7.4
Is this a right behaviour?

I'm running module based, latest stable 0.2.5.



This error message is printed on stdout:

Configuration file: /hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0ap with hwaddr 00:02:6f:30:da:82 and ssid 'keffo'
ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: Invalid argument

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Invalid argument
Could not disable PrivacyInvoked for interface wlan0
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Connection timed out
Could not remove generic information element from interface wlan0


And this in cat /proc/kmsg:
