But when I turn on a wireless client device, then the sytem on AP mode freezes. It has happened since 2.3.38. When I installaed ath9k driver compiled from compat-wireless on linux 2.3.38, the issue got disappered. But the ath9k driver packed with the kernel still has the issue. On Ubuntu 11.10, all linux 3.0 releases (the current stable release Ubuntu 3.0.14) have the issue. I compiled 3.1.5 stable kernel from sources, which also has the issue. I recently compiled compat-wireless-3.2-rc1-1, which also got my system frozen. This is the bug that I filled at Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/875503
