Description skaumo 2015-11-19 14:37:56 UTC 
Steps:

- set up an AP with hostapd on a suspend capable machine
- suspend (e.g.: echo "mem">/sys/power/state)
- resume

* Expected hostapd to spin up the AP after resume automatically (preferably) or report down state otherwise


* Actual:

- /etc/init.d/hostapd status claims to be "started"
- hostapd process is running
- driver claims to be still in Master mode
- but the AP is actually down

Tested against iwlwifi, Intel 7260

Could you please take this upstream, to the hostapd developers?

This seems to be a bug in hostapd, so it should be taken upstream to the developers :-)

You can find the upstream mailing list right here: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap - they will be able to help debug the issue, and help make a patch to fix it.
