>Description:
Executing '/etc/rc.d/hostapd restart' sometimes causes kernel panic. The wireless adapter being used is Edimax with Ralink RT2561/RT61 chipset (ral). My hostapd is configured to use 802.1x authentication through a locally installed freeradius2 server. 
Wlan_xauth.ko module loaded, generic kernel; I managed to determine that the panic happens regardless of whether radius is running or not. I tried this on a custom kernel as well, with wlan_xauth compiled in. Seems not make any difference.
Below attached hostapd configuration:

interface=ral0
debug=0
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=myssid
ieee8021x=1
own_ip_addr=10.1.0.1
auth_server_addr=127.0.0.1
auth_server_port=1812
auth_server_shared_secret=secret
wpa=1
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
>How-To-Repeat:
Just issue /etc/rc.d/hostapd restart. Might not panic every time, though.
