Some of this is speculation.  I wish I had more precise details. This is true
of all trunk versions in last few weeks, when I started using my G300H (v2)
as an AP.  This includes upto version r28254, which includes yesterday's
mac80211 patches, but not today's spam fixes.

I have two Linux machines connecting to it.  After some amount of time - or
what seems more likely, data, the WiFi connections will drop.  If left
alone, they will come back after about 5 minutes.  But it's usually
faster to reboot the router.

I believe that:

* LAN side is unaffected.
* It happens after a certain about of traffic, rather than time, since it'll
be fine during the night when not much is happening, but be triggered during
a download etc during the day.
* Attempts to reproduce by running large amounts of traffic with iperf from
  WiFi -> Wired LAN have been inconsistent.
* In one case where I saw it triggered, I restarted hostapd, and it seemed to
  come back, although NetworkManager on Ubuntu become confused, so I'm
  not certain.
* There is nothing of consequence in kernel logs, apart from regular messages
  from hostapd about group key handshake.

So, I'm after ideas about more precise information I can gather, debug
I can turn on, etc, etc.
