Hi;

I see a problem with hostapd and ipv6 addresses.
(To summarize: hostapd started from /etc/init.d/ destroys ipv6 addresses
from managed interfaces - the bug has been reported in 2010 to hostapd,
and is (also) described also here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536630)

While this a known bug/problem, my main concern is that the workaround
for a Debian-based system as found in Debian bug report above - "to not
start hostapd from /etc/init.d and instead from interfaces after wlan0
is up" does not work on LEAF Bering-uClibc (tested with 5-prealpha)

"auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"

Note the last line! This does not work, even with using the full path to
hostapd... It does work (avoid starting hostapd form init.d) when I
start hostapd form the CLI.

It looks like the command in interfaces doesn't even run...?

Anyone who can confirm that running from /etc/networking/interfaces
works at all?
