Internet sharing via WiFi won’t work (BSS stopping)

internet-sharingNetworkwifi

I'm trying to start internet sharing on my mac mini (share ethernet to wifi).
Until a few days ago, it worked fine, and suddenly stopped working.

I'm pretty sure my "graphical" config is fine (with the System settings app). But there's something strange in the /var/log/wifi.log.

Whenever I start the sharing, it actually works very briefly, before stopping again (MAC addresses and stuff replaced with <snip>)

Any idea what's wrong?

Had the same problem, reseting the NVRAM and PRAM worked for me.
