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.
