I have working setup with hostapd 0.5.2 (RSN and TKIP encryption), freeradius 
as a AAA server and wpa_supplicant 0.5.2.
But if i change protocol from RSN to WPA the group key handshake fails
 with the following log on hostapd

-- output fragment from hostapd -dd

The configuration files (for WPA)
-- hostapd.conf
driver=hostap
ssid=misiek
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ieee8021x=1
eap_server=0
auth_server_addr=127.0.0.1
auth_server_port=1812
auth_server_shared_secret=pssst
wpa=1
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
--
-- wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=1000
update_config=1
network={
	ssid="misiek"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	pairwise=TKIP
	eap=PEAP
	identity="piotrz"
	password="olala"
	ca_cert="/etc/certs/misiek/root.pem"
}
--
The above configuration works smoothly if I set wpa=2 in hostapd.conf and 
proto=WPA2 in wpa_supplicant.conf

Any hints are highly appreciated.
