I just have a fear that we don't endup in "udev-hell", that is incompatibility between kernel and hostapd versions. It was just awful with udev few years ago, let's try to avoid that. Official hostapd releases should work with all official kernel releases, without any exceptions. > In any case, I'm fairly sure the TIM is just wrong, if you have a third > device you could try capturing the beacons and check that the TIM is > never updated. I will check that later and send the results here. -- Kalle Valo
