[Commotion-dev] OpenWRT AP not functioning

[Ben West]

I did notice approx 1.5 months ago that AA r36682+ did seem to cause
IBSS-RSN to stop working entirely, at least with nodes that had packages
hostapd and wpa_supplicant (but NOT wpad) installed.

Right now, I have a collection of nodes running AA r36681 with JUST wpad,
any they appear to be doing IBSS-RSN adhoc just fine.

Stability issues notwithstanding, is there a reason to go with the full
hostapd / wpa_supplicant packages?  I noticed you save 150-200kBytes in
firmware size using wpad instead.
