I actually resolved the issues described. I don't know if this was the
true source of the disfunctional AP services, however, when I turned off
routed all became sound again. I had also rebuilt world, and installed
a newly compiled version of 6-stable, however, that still did not
resolve the issues as of the previous email. I wanted to research what
may have caused this issue, since I will likely see it again, especially
if there is some misscommunication with routed and hostapd
authentication.
