Hello!
The CVS version of HostAP causes a kernel oops at startup (poosibly while bringing the interface up). The kernel is 2.4.19-rc1 with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB defined in .config (i.e. with malloc debugger).
I don't have time to debug it today, I just hope somebody will say Oops and fix it before I find time to look at it. By the way, it's a very good idea to have CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled for anybody doing kernel development.
