Hi Milan,

Sure, all my patches/changes are available, but as i said, it's only small changes...

It is just a home/office router with low traffic (cheap cable connection) but with a few 24x7 connections (so i'm more for stability and features than speed).

Here is my config (ifconfig - rc.conf):

hostapd_enable="YES"
wlans_ath0="wlan1"
create_args_wlan1="wlanmode hostap mode 11g descr wireless-ap"
ifconfig_wlan1="ssid wpa-test channel 1"

My hostapd.conf: http://pastebin.com/fz6pNfHX

(have tried with and without preamble, with eapol_version = 1 and 2 and with wpa = 1 and 3)

Here is the syslog output: http://pastebin.com/YaQHtfVr

The problem is, i've only an iphone to test this atm...

I've another ubiquiti card and another rspro, i'll try to test the wpa setup using a freebsd client and check if something changes (that's why i did not asked for help at first time, i've not tried everything yet - but help is always welcome).

adrian@ keeps a wiki page with some information about this: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AdrianChadd/UbiquityRouterstationPro

I'll poke him about a port for this flash tool, it's very simple to use.

I'll also send some of my patches to mailing list.

If you need anything else (or if i forget something), just ask :)

Regards,
Luiz
PS: i need some days to rebuild my development environment, it's all off now... i'm enjoying the silence :)
