I actually resolved the issues described. I don't know if this was the true source of the disfunctional AP services, however, when I turned off routed all became sound again. I had also rebuilt world, and installed a newly compiled version of 6-stable, however, that still did not resolve the issues as of the previous email. I wanted to research what may have caused this issue, since I will likely see it again, especially if there is some misscommunication with routed and hostapd authentication. - Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth, CEO M.G.
