I'm having a similar problem with Apple devices- have tried an iPhone 6, Mac
OS 10.9.5 and Mac OS 10.10.3.  Android connects OK.  I haven't found any
resolution to this problem on any mailing list or forum, is there a known
fix/config change?

I'm running Debian Jessie (8.0) which has hostapd 2.3.

The Apple devices connect successfully enough that dnsmasq assigns them an
IP address & they respond to pings for a few seconds, but not successfully
enough that they think they are connected. 

Below are the details.  Jouni, do you still want a wireless capture, and if
so what's your preferred method for me to do the capture?

Thanks for hostapd!
