This is not sufficient verbosity to be able to say much about what is
happening here.

This works fine in my tests with Apple devices. I would need to see a
verbose debug log (-ddt on hostapd command line) and a wireless capture
showing the frames exchanged between the AP and the station to be able
to say much more about what could be the reason for the disconnection.
