hostapd: fast speed..but fast disconnect too

I have setup a hostapd server on Slackware 15
I use this adapter for server, the client also using a similar adapter

I use this configuration for hostapd

Code:interface=wlan1
bridge=br0
driver=nl80211
ssid=mysid
hw_mode=a
channel=36
ieee80211d=1
ieee80211n=1
ieee80211ac=1
wmm_enabled=1
macaddr_acl=1
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=mysid
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
country_code=IT

#HT
require_ht=1
require_vht=1
ht_capab=[MAX-AMSDU-7935][HT40+][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40]I start hostapd and speed seems good

on server iwconfig report:

and it can not reconnect, I have to restart hostapd (sic!).

The kernel is 6.5.3 and this is the driver.

I have tried those solutions

a) removing ht_capab=[MAX-AMSDU-7935][HT40+][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40]
the hostapd become slow to 173mb and the problem persist.

b) configuring the bridge using network manager or ip commands
, but is the same thing, actually I use brctl for configure it.

This is the verbose log from hostapd.
