WR1043NDv1 hostapd issues on 17.01.0

For Developers

I made the jump from OpenWRT CC to Lede 17.01.0 yesterday on a TP-Link WR1043ND v1.

I run a simple install with a single SSID, WPA2-PSK (CCMP), 20MHz width. However, I'm experiencing issues where every 10 minutes, wireless clients lose their connection and have to re-connect. The logs show the following:

This happens exactly every 10 minutes. It seems like a remnant from https://bugs.lede-project.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=241 However, that issues should've been resolved... What could trigger this?

It seems that there are more issues with the ath9k driver, I also experience these problems with my WNDR4300.

Any news on this? have you tried 17.01.2 or tried hostapd instead of hostapd-mini to see what happen?
on your netgear WNDR4300 it happens in 2.4ghz and 5ghz ?

With the latest release 17.01.4 I don't experience the problem anymore.
