HostAP and WPA-PSK - HELP

Hello everybody,
I am using HostAP in order to test a WPA-PSK environnement. I have a
laptop acting as AP (running hostapd) and another laptop acting as
supplicant (running wpa_supplicant).

Here is my configuration for HostAP with WPA-PSK:

#cat hostapd.conf  
ssid=testnet
macaddr_acl=1
auth_algs=1
own_ip_addr=192.168.1.22
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=testsecret
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP 

and here my configuration for wpa_supplicant:

#cat wpa_supplicant.conf
ap_scan=1
network={
       ssid="testnet"
       psk="testsecret"
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=CCMP TKIP
       group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
       priority=5
}

After starting both hostapd and wpa_suppling, I cannot authenticate my
supplicant because for each AP found it says:

skip - no WPA/RSN IE
No suitable AP found

A similar message is prompted also by the AP.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks,
Gianni
