To figure out what the problem is, i also installed the latest hostap driver. The way it reports associated clients, hasn't changed, the mac addresses of the asssociated clients, show up on /proc/net/hostap/wlanX as files. But your output has no such files, are you sure you have associated clients (or maybe the output you sent was taken at a time you had no associated clients)? Wifiadmin reads those files to report information about clients. Here is what i see on my ap: /proc/net/hostap/wlan0: total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 00:09:5b:11:c8:b5 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 00:0d:88:ad:67:07 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 00:0d:88:b7:cf:af -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 00:80:c8:af:b8:53 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 ap -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 ap_control -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 ap_debug -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 aux_dump -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 bss_list -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 crypt -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 debug -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 pda -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 scan_results -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 stats -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 27 11:16 wds Your wlan0ap interface, is just another name for wlan0 right? Did you do something special to get that interface name? It would be helpful if your slackware box had internet access and i could get a user account on it... You seem to have a "normal" setup, so there are probably more people with the same problem. I would be happy to resolve this.
