Re: ath9k based AP stops responding after half a day or so

Hi all,

I'm seeing a similar problem with compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc1 and
hostapd 0.6.9 on a AR9100 (ath9k) mips/ahb based system. This is with
an open access point and without ANI so my guess is that Rob's log
unfortunately does not pinpoint the problem.

I can spend some time on this but like Rob I'm not sure where to
start. Any thoughts? It should be somewhere close to the hardware as a
restart/reload doesn't solve the problem (I haven't been able to try
this though). Anybody know anything related to
beacons/monitor/injection that may deteriorate over time and be
persistent across an rmmod/insmod?

Best regards,

Björn
