windows can connect, ubuntu not

Fri Aug 31 12:05:46 PDT 2007

Hi,

I've set up hostap on a ubuntu-server with an atheros-card.
- Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC
(rev 01)

hostapd v0.5.5
wpa_supplicant v0.5.5

I've configured the card in master-mode and setup hostapd to use wpa.

If I use a windows-machine as client, everything is ok.
If I use a ubuntu-machine as client, I get no ip-address.

If I start "hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" it shows the following:
