Client won't stay connected

When running the no-upstream script, a smartphone won't stay connected to the network. It keeps dropping.

Can you update to the latest source, edit hostapd-mana/src/utils/wpa_debug.c to change the debug message level from MSG_INFO to MSG_MSGDUMP, recompile hostapd and include that output please?

I've seen the disconnect behavior with some devices before but they don't normally get to DHCP and making connections.

Can other devices connect (iPhones are my most frequent test devices and are known to work for eg)?

Hi! I am getting the same issue except i am running the start-nat-simple shell. I had an error saying could not locate dhcp.lease database, so i created a blank file with this name in the directory it was looking for. Now i get the same symptoms as @DrDinosaur - i think its definately DHCP lease related? Just a noob when it comes to mana, karma, kali, linux as a whole really

If it's DHCP related it's likely a simple networking bug. Can you post some debug output?

Can you try with the new version, I moved away from isc's DHCPd to dnsmasq.
