Would you provide advice on what the following hostapd logs mean? 1) did not acknowledge authentication response 2) deauthenticated due to local deauth request 3) disassociated due to inactivity 4) deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) Is item 1) referring to some timeout between hostapd and Wi-Fi driver, or timeout on receiving from the client station? Does item 2) happen for specific timeout on client station? The first 2 logs showed up when a client station was having problem to connect to AP. This problem happened frequently but not all the time. The log sequence was as follows: Apr 8 22:41:16 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: authenticated Apr 8 22:41:16 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Apr 8 22:41:24 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request Apr 8 22:41:27 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:41:27 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:41:39 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: authenticated Apr 8 22:41:39 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Apr 8 22:41:39 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx RADIUS: starting accounting session 58E02C68-000002CA Apr 8 22:41:39 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) Apr 8 22:42:02 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:07 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:07 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:07 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:08 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:08 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:08 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:13 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:42:13 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response Apr 8 22:43:14 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: authenticated Apr 8 22:43:14 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Apr 8 22:43:18 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: authenticated Apr 8 22:43:18 uap0: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) The third and fourth logs showed up when a client station lost connection with AP for 1 to 2 minutes. Is the log "disassociated due to inactivity" specific to the configuration "ap_max_inactivity"? Are there other situations that could cause this log to show up?
