EAP identity request- EAP identiy response and there it stops..

[Arjen Smit]

Dear hostapd users,

I hope someone can help me with this issue. I have a setup on ubuntu 12.04
- hostapd v2.3 plus external radius server (freeradius). After associating
to the AP with the wireless device only an EAP identiy request and EAP
identity response can be seen on the radio interface (actually several
times). From the hostapd towards the Radius server the accounting is
exchanged but no authentication (EAPOL) communication whatsoever. (sniffing
on loopback interface on port 1812 and 1813) .I would expect at some stage
the hostapd to start a message exchange with the autentication Radius
server. I tried with several settings on hostapd.conf and various versions
of hostapd but the behaviour is similar

Any pointers to the right direction are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
