Is all "wep_..." configuration disabled in hostapd.conf? If not please
disable it. WEP is not WPA! Configuring it at same time will destroy
WPA groupkey.
Your station seams not to be configured to WPA. It sends no WPA IE in
its association request - so hostapd didn't handle this station.

Well, WE16 seams to be ok. All functions work!
