Hi list,

My hostapd AP (with ath9k) works very well as far as I can tell. I get a 
good connection to it from my eee which uses linux and ath5k.

However, I cannot get to connect my wife's laptop which is on windows XP 
and uses an intel chip. It actually goes through endless cycles of 
authentication / dehautentication. When I run hostapd with -dd and no 
wpa, here is what I get:

and it goes like this all over and over again.

So, does anybody have any clue of what could cause this problem. For 
instance, what's reason_code=1? Google did not help...

Let me know if you need any more information to figure out what's going 
on. Thank you in advance!
