802.1x: EAP/TLS - xsupplicant and hostap wep enabled

In addition to my previous e-mail, I've tried to issue this command in
both, the client and the hostAP machines and got the same results:

# hostap_crypt_conf wlan0 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff WEP

and I see this in the logs:

Dec  1 01:12:17 nimble hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:90:d1:06:5b:9f IEEE
802.11: authentication OK (open system)
Dec  1 01:12:17 nimble hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:90:d1:06:5b:9f IEEE
802.11: authenticated

802.11: association OK (aid 1)

Dec  1 01:13:22 nimble hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:90:d1:06:5b:9f IEEE
802.1X: unauthorizing port

but xsupplicant still replyes:

No authenticator found! Assuming the port is authorized!

Do you know what am I doing wrong here? or where can I find some
documentation about this?

Take care,

	Pau.
