Accidentally came across a strange effect on my 3200 Master. I have Ath1 disabled as Ath2 also since I don't use these radios on this device. Recently I started getting a lot of interrupts from my Cannon printer as I needed to set it up again. Didn't really pay much attention since I knew I had to set it up, but the strange part is that the printer was trying to connect to the disabled radio on my 3200. At first I thought it was just trying to connect to my active routers but on closer evaluation it was trying to connect to my disabled 3200 as clearly indicated in the logs. I have since setup the printer and no longer get the flood of interrupts. I also have not only ensured that the radio is disabled, even though I know it is not, but have also configured it as a client and disabled. Even though the radio was disabled it still would receive and activate the DHCP/DNS of the router as I have the printer MAC configured in Services and when the log entries appeared it showed not only the MAC address trying to authenticate but the Name I had configured in Services. Not sure this would impact anyone else, but if you are running a 3200 with Ath1 disabled and using another router for the 2.4Ghz be aware that things could get pretty messy since the 3200 2.4Ghz is still actually actively receiving and working with those receipts.

Just to add to my original note, today my remote 3200 decided to stop communicating with two of my cameras and the master 3200 was flooded with thousands of entries on Ath1 which is disabled.

Apr 19 06:19:24 204.112.206.21 hostapd ath1: STA 00:0c:43:e0:09:73 MLME: auth request, signal -59 (Accepted)
Apr 19 06:19:24 204.112.206.21 hostapd ath1: STA 00:b3:b6:4d:65:67 MLME: auth request, signal -46 (Accepted)

Rebooted my remote 3200 and the cameras connected and no more Ath1 entries on the master 3200
