I am trying to use the latest release of hostap with a Mikrotik prism 2.5 based 200mW 
card and RH 7.2, and it will bridge and route ICMP (pings) but very intermittently will 
it perform TCP functions (http).  It is not a signal issue, each end is reporting ~ -
25dBm.  I am trying to interoperate with Lucent cards.  Association is instant and all 
clients show up in iwspy with good signal.  Its intermittency hints at maybe a buffer 
issue or something in the hostap driver (but im no hardware programmer). Has anyone else 
experienced this issue?  Is there a way to debug on a lower level than protocol? (i am 
using tcpdump to monitor traffic on bridge and clients).  Note:  we have used the same 
machine with a DLINK pci prism card and it was fully functional in AP mode.  Hope this 
question hasnt already come up! (then again...)
