After upgrading from compat-wireless-3.0-2 on Linux-2.6.35.12, which was reasonably solid and fast, to compat-wireless-3.3-rc1-2 (same kernel, same hostapd-0.7.3), I now get unusably slow performance from my iPhone (2.4Ghz), and the hostapd logs are flooding with these:
Feb 28 23:30:09 2012 bpnewcastle local3.debug hostapd: ath1: STA 00:26:b0:8f:1c:61 IEEE 802.11: handle_action - unknown action category 131 or invalid fraH
Feb 28 23:30:09 2012 bpnewcastle local3.debug hostapd: ath1: STA 00:26:b0:8f:1c:61 IEEE 802.11: handle_action - unknown action category 131 or invalid fraH
Feb 28 23:30:37 2012 bpnewcastle local3.debug hostapd: ath1: STA 00:26:b0:8f:1c:61 IEEE 802.11: handle_action - unknown action category 131 or invalid fraH
Feb 28 23:30:39 2012 bpnewcastle local3.debug hostapd: ath1: STA 00:26:b0:8f:1c:61 IEEE 802.11: handle_action - unknown action category 131 or invalid fraH
Reverting back to compat-wireless-3.0-2 corrects the speed problem, but it has other bugs so I'm trying to move forward.
Thanks,
