does hostapd work with wired networks ???

[Jush Turner]

hello everybody
my main question is : can hostapd be used in a wired network ?
im using the following network with hostapd on the authenticator :

Authentication server <------------------wired------
--------------->
Authenticator(hostapd) <-------------------wired-------------------->
User (win XP with WinRadius)
1.100 ------------------- 1.200 , 0.13 --------------------- 0.12
and this is my configurations for hostapd :

interface=eth1
driver=wired
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2

ieee8021x=1
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
eapol_version=1

own_ip_addr=192.168.1.200
auth_server_addr=192.168.1.100
auth_server_port=1812
auth_server_shared_secret=secret
acct_server_addr=192.168.1.100
acct_server_port=1813
acct_server_shared_secret=secret

there is a problem : the EAPOL_start is sent to the authenticator by
the user (win XP) but the authenticator doesn't reply to user. what is
the solution ? please help me

thanks a lot ...
