I'm trying to figure out why my stations sometimes deauth for reason 4 (which I understand to mean 'inactivity'). I instrumented the hostapd logs a bit, and I see this the output below. Basically, there appears to be no inactivity problems, and as far as I can tell, hostapd isn't forcing the deauth, but is rather dealing with it from somewhere else.
