The error 55 for lkpi_ic_getradiocaps() is okay and can be ignored.

In general you want to use service netif start wlan0  here to not
(re)start all your interfaces but only wlan0.

I think from what I read, your experiment correlated with some
wpa_supplicant issues around the same time in HEAD.   Can you update
your tree to a recent "main" and try again?  If it still doesn't work,
send me an email off-list and we'll do all the debugging needed to
figure out what's going on.


Lots of health,
