hostapd startup

I have been trying to get hostapd working and have had some troubles.  
After configuring my network on wlan0 I fire up hostapd with 'hostapd 
-xm wlan0' and I am able to authenticate with a winXP machine.   The 
problem is that even after authenticating and verifying that I am 
authenticated on the AP I can't get any IP connectivity.  Does anyone 
know of any good documentation other than the PRISM2 readme?  Maybe 
tips on network config and startup scripts?  Do I need to add IP info 
to the wlan0ap device?  Shouldn't after auth just forward the traffic 
to the wlan0 device?  I haven't really dug too deep yet but just wanted 
to know if my settings were correct.

Here are my current settings:
