[success] hostapd <> Intel ProSet = authentication fails

[Coert]

It is working for me.  Just before I got your email, I updated the
PROSet supplicant to the latest and greatest version 7.1.3.2, and that
solved the problem.  I noticed something about server certificates in
the release notes.

That means that all my wireless systems are up and running using WPA. 
hostapd running on the access point, and wpa_supplicant running on the
linux supplicants.

For others trying to configure something simular, I added the Intel
PROSet config to my notes at:

Thanks for all the help,
Coert Vonk
