Hi,

it seems that I have similar problem. I am trying to use hostapd 0.4.5 with 
lastest madwifi driver (both compiled cleanly) on linux 2.6.11.12 box with 
Atheros AR5212 card. When I run hostapd I get something like this :

Using interface ath0 with hwaddr 00:11:95:91:8f:5d and ssid 'testnet'
Flushing old station entries
Deauthenticate all stations
l2_packet_receive - recvfrom: Network is down
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 IEEE 802.11: associated
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 WPA: event 1 notification

ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 WPA: EAPOL-Key timeout
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 IEEE 802.11: deassociated
ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 WPA: event 2 notification

ath0: STA 00:12:f0:db:76:02 IEEE 802.1X: unauthorizing port
ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: No such file or directory
...

Firstly - what means "l2_packet_receive - recvfrom: Network is down" ? hostapd 
is configured for WPA-PSK, windows client can't authenticate. And I really 
have not got any idea what is the source of these errors from ioctl..

regards, Nick
