If you refer to any information, it's better that you provide the
reference, so that others can check it too.  You could have
misunderstood something.  I don't think linux-wlan-ng is WPA capable, at
least in the form it's released publicly.

"-Dhostap" would work only with hostap driver.  You may have better luck
with "-Dwext", although I'm not sure linux-wlan-ng can do even that.

Alternatively, use hostap driver included with the kernel.
