If you can't attach the log (strange that google prevents you from
doing that) you can use any pastebin service and provides us the link
(not the best option - because because those links will become
unavailable at some point - but better than nothing).

Why are you trying to run both hostapd and wpa_supplicant on the same
host? My guess is that you want your host to be an AP and a STA at the
same time, right?
I don't think this is allowed by any driver. So you can't do that with
just 1 wireless device.

If this is the case, I think wpa_supplicant is failing when trying to
bring up a second interfaces in managed mode.
