It looks like the authentication succeeded otherwise, but the station
did not acknowledge the authentication message. hostapd used to require
that this ACK frame is received before allowing association. I changed
this so that the station is marked authenticated already when the AP is
sending the authentication success frame. Could you please retest with
the latest CVS snapshot from http://hostap.epitest.fi/?
