Karma Association Breaks ICS.

[Ohm]

Good afternoon everyone.

I wanted to bring up a possible bug.

Here's the problem. When I turn on Karma and several devices associate to the pineapple via Karma, the internet no longer becomes available. I have isolated this problem by running the following experiment to see if this is true. Here are the details.

Equipment:
Macbook Pro 8.1 running OSX 10.6.8.
Wifi Pineapple Firmware Ver 1.4.1.

Two android mobile devices.

Procedure:

I fired up the pineapple.

Tethered via Ethernet to my Macbook Pro.

Provide ICS.

Confirm Internet IP through Web-based GUI and also I send continuous echo requests to Google.
Wlan0 is on.

Then I turn on karma.

Here's the Event log.

I have my devices associate by manually entering fake ssid. They associate within seconds.

What happens:

After a couple of devices associate via Karma, my ping command hangs and I press show internet and get an error. My devices also lose internet.

What i've done:

I've reflashed my pineapple and I have not reinstalled any infusions.

I will continue to investigate further. Anyone have seen this before?

You say you're providing ICS over Ethernet on OSX? Can you reproduce this with any other operating system? I've never encountered this behavior, but I've also never used a mac.
