Hello guys,

After the a bit problematic upgrade to F12 I tried to make my wifi AP (WPA2)
work. SoI compiled hostapd trunk version I used without a problem in F11 and
I immediately experienced DHCP problems and wifi clients were disconnected
after about 2-5 minutes after the handshake was established (and did not
reconnect afterwards).

I made an upgrade to the latest F12 kernel and tried again. I also tried
latest developement hostapd version - 0.7.0 but without luck.

As the last resort I managed to install latest F11 kernel to my F12 and
bingo - wifi is stable and DHCP problems dissapeared.

So in summary:
F12 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 and
kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 do not work for me with hostapd 0.7.0 or
older trunk version.
F11 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i686 works fine.

Cheers,

Jaiv
