Thanks. This looks like something completely different. The client
device does not seem to even try to associate with the AP. It does go
through Authentication frame exchange, but then nothing.. The debug
patch should have no impact on this type of functionality, so it is a
bit difficult to say what caused this.

Or are you maybe running this over a slow serial port connection? If so,
there will likely be a significant extra latency on operations and it
would be better to direct the output to a file with something like

hostapd -dd hostapd.cfg > /tmp/hostapd.log
