Hi Meino,

Again, I'm not sure, but it looks like hostapd is set up to do WPA with EAP
(WPA-Enterprise) which uses a RADIUS backend.

Is it possible that you want to make sure your hostapd configuration
file is configured for WPA-PSK (something like:)

auth_algs=1           # 1=wpa, 2=wep, 3=both
wpa=2                 # WPA2 only
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK 
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=somepassword

Sorry if you already posted that you have that already.  I've lost track
of what your hostapd configuration file has in it.

Regards,

Todd
