I haven't yet written any instructions for this apart from the brief
comments in the example hostapd.conf file. Please take a look at the end
of that file (from CVS snapshot of development branch) and ask for more
details, if the comments are not enough.

For minimal case, just add "wpa=1" and "wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-EAP" into
hostapd.conf if RADIUS/IEEE 802.1X is used for authentication (this is
configured just like for non-WPA case). If you want to use WPA-PSK, add
"wpa=1" and "wpa_passphrase=your secret passphrase" into the
configuration file.
