Testing hostapd 2.9 on SlackwareARM 14.2 and -current

I maintain hostapd for Slackware on SBo. Yesterday I upgraded it from 2.7 to 2.9 in order to patch multiple vulnerabilities and apply many bug fixes. I use it on my rpi 3 home gateway and on a rpi 3 wireless repeater. I am hoping there are other SlackwareARM users who use it differently to verify all works OK. It seems less likely that x86_64/x86 users are abundant and that is why I am asking here.

If anyone is interested in testing on their own systems, please post back here with details. I attached the SlackBuild archive to this post. Be sure to review the included hostapd.defconfig prior to compiling.

As a reference my personal hostapd.conf is below:
Code:ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
interface=wlan0
hw_mode=g
channel=1
ieee80211d=1
country_code=US
ieee80211n=1
wmm_enabled=1

ssid=Test
auth_algs=1

wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=testpassword

logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2Rename the attached archive from hostapd-SlackBuild-2.9.tar.gz.txt to hostapd-SlackBuild-2.9.tar.gz to have a working archive.
