I'm attempting to use carl9170 in AP mode and I'm seeing some interesting errors. When calling hostapd to initialize the AP, 10-50% of the attempts will be unsuccessful and report the following: Could not set interface wlan0 flags: Connection ieee80211 phy1: lost 7 command responses/traps! w:9 g:0 usb 1-1: restart device (8) timed out nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP nl80211 driver initialization failed. rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory usb 1-1: firmware upload failed (-110). usb 1-1: Failed to restart device (-110). usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device number 2 using ehci-omap usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device number 2 using ehci-omap usb 1-1: driver API: 1.9.2 2011-01-22 [1-1] usb 1-1: firmware API: 1.9.2 2010-12-25 usb 1-1: Atheros AR9170 is registered as 'phy2' I'm seeing this error on the Beagleboard xM (Ubuntu 11.04 2.6.38) as well as on a Lenovo x200 PC (Ubuntu 11.04 2.6.38). I've reproduced it with 2.6.39 on the Beagleboard (not xM) as well. When initializing the normal client mode, I've never seen a failure to "upload" the firmware like this. It seems to be particular to the AP mode. Suggestions for resolution are appreciated. I'm going to open up the carl9170 firmware source and start trying to determine a possible cause there.
