hostapd handle_assoc_cb STA not found

[toarney]

Using Kali (rolling)
Alfa AWUS036NH

Client would connect to SSID then immediately disconnect with error message:

hostapd handle_assoc_cb STA [MAC ADDRESS OR CLIENT] not found

Realized that the wlan0 channel was not being set correctly.

Fix: (in start*.sh)

sed -i "s/^channel=.*$/channel=$channel/" $conf
iwconfig $phy channel $channel

That's very strange. hostapd sets the channel. Would you be willing to share what wifi hardware you're using (chipset, driver, manufacturer etc) Also are you running anything else that may affect the channel, such as airodump in channel hopping mode?

I haven't used a AWUS036NH in years, because it didn't used to support master mode until the move to mac80211. I've got one around somewhere. As I said before, I can't see why you'd need to manually set the channel, because hostapd does that. I'll see if I can re-create your issue when I dig the device up.
