After about a week, I had a configuration that worked very well. I was at home for the holidays, and then I was out of town, and in both places the hostap mode of the wi driver worked flawlessly. Now I am back at school using the exact same setup, and the system panics after 5-20 or so minutes in the 'idle' process. The only difference I can think of is that now I am within range of another access point (a linksys router) that is sending some sort of flawed packets. This is strange because I am using channel 1, and the linksys router is on channel 6. I am using 128 bit wep, and the linksys router is not. I tried changing the wireless card back to the old firmware, and the same thing happened. I should also note, that I can connect to the linksys router with the wi driver and it works great, only in hostap mode does the kernel panic. Any ideas what is going on here? I have not had time to set up the debugging kernel, but I can try it soon if it would be helpful. Thanks for your time.
