Have you used hostapd with this device on previous kernels? If so, what is the first kernel to show this issue? Could you attach your .config?
Created attachment 27153 [details] .config
Haven't used hostapd on previous kernels, so don't know when it started.
Created attachment 27155 [details] 0001-wireless-use-netif_rx_ni-in-ieee80211_send_layer2_up.patch Give this a try?
No error with patch, it works.
Any chance to have this in 2.6.35?
