Hi again I have installed debian jessie lite on my banana pi m2+ board and running hostapd 1:2.3-1+deb8u3 and wireless driver is bcmdhd for wlan0. initially hostapd runs fine but after some time it disconnects all connected clients one by one. when I tried to reconnect again, it gives following error while I was running hostapd as: hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf nl80211: Drv Event 20 (NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION) received for wlan0 nl80211: Delete station 00:73:8d:43:87:2e wlan0: Event DISASSOC (1) received wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Disassociation notification for unknown STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e nl80211: Drv Event 20 (NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION) received for wlan0 nl80211: Delete station 00:73:8d:43:87:2e wlan0: Event DISASSOC (1) received wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Disassociation notification for unknown STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e nl80211: Drv Event 20 (NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION) received for wlan0 nl80211: Delete station 00:73:8d:43:87:2e wlan0: Event DISASSOC (1) received wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Disassociation notification for unknown STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e While at the same time in syslog this is what I found : Feb 22 08:20:35 eth0 kernel: [71895.572083] Disconnect STA : 00:73:8d:43:87:2e scb_val.val 3 Feb 22 08:20:35 eth0 rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Wed Feb 22 08:22:05 2017 [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ] Feb 22 08:20:36 eth0 kernel: [71895.617041] Disconnect STA : 00:73:8d:43:87:2e scb_val.val 3 Feb 22 08:20:40 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request Feb 22 08:20:41 eth0 kernel: [71900.619987] Disconnect STA : 00:73:8d:43:87:2e scb_val.val 3 Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71908.946085] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH(5) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71908.985954] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 00:73:8d:43:87:2e Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71909.026463] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH(5) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71909.044142] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 00:73:8d:43:87:2e Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71909.060174] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH(5) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 kernel: [71909.077770] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 00:73:8d:43:87:2e Feb 22 08:20:49 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:73:8d:43:87:2e IEEE 802.11: disassociated Following is the message when a now client tries to connect: nl80211: Drv Event 20 (NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION) received for wlan0 nl80211: Delete station 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 wlan0: Event DISASSOC (1) received wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Disassociation notification for unknown STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 while in syslog it is: Feb 22 08:36:50 eth0 kernel: [72870.222716] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH_IND(6) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:36:50 eth0 kernel: [72870.262034] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 Feb 22 08:36:50 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:37:06 eth0 kernel: [72886.043224] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH_IND(6) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:37:06 eth0 kernel: [72886.082689] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 Feb 22 08:37:06 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:37:15 eth0 kernel: [72895.566825] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH_IND(6) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:37:16 eth0 kernel: [72895.606844] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 Feb 22 08:37:16 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:37:31 eth0 kernel: [72911.200410] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH_IND(6) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:37:31 eth0 kernel: [72911.240636] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 Feb 22 08:37:31 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Feb 22 08:37:40 eth0 kernel: [72920.570358] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_notify_connect_status_ap : event WLC_E_DEAUTH_IND(6) status 0 reason 3 Feb 22 08:37:40 eth0 kernel: [72920.611418] wl_notify_connect_status_ap: deauthenticated device 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 Feb 22 08:37:41 eth0 hostapd: wlan0: STA 8c:18:d9:20:b3:91 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Any help?
