I am trying to use the latest release of hostap with a Mikrotik prism 2.5 based 200mW
card and RH 7.2, and it will bridge and route ICMP (pings) but very intermittently will
it perform TCP functions (http). It is not a signal issue, each end is reporting ~ -
25dBm. I am trying to interoperate with Lucent cards. Association is instant and all
clients show up in iwspy with good signal. Its intermittency hints at maybe a buffer
issue or something in the hostap driver (but im no hardware programmer). Has anyone else
experienced this issue? Is there a way to debug on a lower level than protocol? (i am
using tcpdump to monitor traffic on bridge and clients). Note: we have used the same
machine with a DLINK pci prism card and it was fully functional in AP mode. Hope this
question hasnt already come up! (then again...)
