Hmm.. If I remember correctly, TX or RX path should use hfa384x_set_rid() only if the station is used power saving modes (setting TIM; and if this fails, it should be shown in kernel log viewable with 'dmesg'). Other uses of set_rid() are from configuration changes, e.g. with iwconfig.

Getting this during idle times is interesting.. Could you please add extra information (rid number and length) to the error messages? You can either use the following patch or get a CVS snapshot from http://hostap.epitest.fi/. This should help in finding out, what is trying to change the RID when access command times out.
