RE: hostapd hangs on quit, multi-BSSID scenario

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



1. I don't know how to use GDB. Consider me entry level developer.
2. It should not be related the change I made on ath9k. The reasons are
	a. My change is simple, linux/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h: change ATH_BCBUF from 4 to 12
	b. Without my change, driver accepts up to 3 extra BSSID. But hostapd still hangs on quit. Hostapd quits well if there only one extra BSSID.

This problem is 100% reproducible. I guess it would be quite easy for the original hostapd developer to fix it.

Maybe attach gdb to hostapd and see where it hangs?

Also, what change did you make to ath9k?

Thanks,
