This isnt true. 802.1x speaks about a controlled port and a
uncontrolled port. On uncontrolled port a client can connect without
authentication. Some vendor use this to display web-pages to login.
I think hostapd didn't support an uncontrolled port. This could be a
feature request to Jouni Malinen to add an "uncontrolled" interface for
unauthorised stations.
