Maceij,
Does this patch fix the problem?
The beacon seems to be updating now and STAs no longer get stuck in PS
mode.
Although sometimes (every 2-3 minutes with continuous 1s interval pings)
there is around 5s delay in updating the transmitted beacon - don't know
why, maybe the NIC hardware still has the old version in queue?
Since USB device doesn't update every beacon, dtim_count isn't updated neither.
It leads STA doesn't awake properly. Please try to fix dtim_period=1 in
hostapd.conf, which tells STA awakes every beacon interval.
The situation is the same with dtim_period=1.

Ping-Ke,
are you going to submit your set_tim() patch so at least the AP mode is
usable with PS STAs or are you waiting for a solution to the delayed
beacon update issue?
I'm still trying to get a 8192cu, and then I can reproduce the symptom you
met. However, I'm busy now; maybe I have free time two weeks later.
Do you think I submit the set_tim() patch with your Reported-by and Tested-by first?
PK,
I would say yes. Get the fix in as soon as possible.
Larry
