hi

  I am trying to get the hostapd to connect to an access point with
minimal authentication features( to test the conection and then later
and other configurations).

 My wpa supplicant configuration is:

network={
	ssid="test"
	mode=0
	key_mgmt=NONE
	eap=MD5
	identity="user at example.com"
	password="password"
	priority=2
}

 The access point is running the hostapd. The WPA supplicant scans and
associates with the access point but the EAP authentication fails. This
is the output I get from the WPA supplicant

At the Access point side the hostapd gives these messages.

 Can any one please point out what is wrong with the configuration I am
using and why the EAP authentication fails.

Thanks
