Running hostapd and a Atheros based AP on recent CURRENT (FreeBSD 11.0-CURR=
ENT #8
r294329: Tue Jan 19 18:23:20 CET 2016 amd64), clients do not connect anymor=
e to that
specific AP. They did a week or two ago (mobile phones, several notebooks).

The WiFi adaptor is this one (dmesg):

[...]

and from ifconfig:

[...]

On some earlier dmesg outputs, I see the line=20

ath0: AR9380 mac 448.3 RF5110 phy 2457.9

instead of the most recent

ath0: AR9380 mac 448.3 RF5110 phy 3276.12

I do not see any strange behaviour until clients fetch (successfully!) thei=
r IP via
isc-dhcp (isc-dhcp43-server-4.3.3P1_1), then they die or can not access  th=
e network any
further.

Has there been a change recently?

Kind regards,

Oliver
