<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US> I very
recently had to uninstall madwifi drivers (ath_pci) and use ath5k instead for
my wireless card in ubuntu due to frequent kernel panics when using hostapd for
a few hours. In addition, I had to move from hostapd 0.6.10 to 0.7.2 due to a
bug in hostapd’s code, as far as I understand it, with the nl80211
driver. From that point on, I see a lot of probe requests and probe replies on
my hostapd debug output, which I am guessing is due to the drivers’
update. This is very annoying but I am afraid that apart from the fact there is
nothing I can do about it (I still want to run hostapd in debug mode), it is
not the only problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>The problem I am
having is that now, when I run hostapd 0.7.2 with ath5k I get two handles
on my Access Point interface (note that I do not get them before running
hostapd). So, I see my AP card appearing in ifconfig and Wireshark’s list
of interface as wlan1 and mon.wlan1 which is very annoying because in
Wireshark, each one shows a subset of the wireless communication! (it seems
that one shows the incoming traffic and one the outgoing, but I am not 100%
certain for this) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>Has anyone
experienced that and –hopefully- solved this? It is very difficult to
debug the conversation of my wpa_supplicant clients with the hostapd AP (e.g.
all the EAP-TLS conversation) without seeing the packets in a sequential list
in one instance of Wireshark. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Thanks very much in advance,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
