Thanks Jouni
I realized than when it is working (same hostapd.conf, difference is 
running hostapd from compiled from source or from package manager)

from package manager :
pnic_wlan: Event EAPOL_TX_STATUS (38) received
IEEE 802.1X: e8:50:8b:03:f4:bf TX status - version=2 type=3 length=95 - 
ack=1
WPA: EAPOL-Key TX status for STA e8:50:8b:03:f4:bf ack=1
WPA: Increase initial EAPOL-Key 1/4 timeout by 1000 ms because of 
acknowledged frame
pnic_wlan: Event EAPOL_RX (24) received
IEEE 802.1X: 121 bytes from e8:50:8b:03:f4:bf
    IEEE 802.1X: version=1 type=3 length=117
WPA: Received EAPOL-Key from e8:50:8b:03:f4:bf key_info=0x10a type=2 
key_data_length=22


from source :
pnic_wlan: Event EAPOL_TX_STATUS (38) received
IEEE 802.1X: e8:50:8b:03:f4:bf TX status - version=2 type=3 length=95 -

WPA: Use EAPOL-Key timeout of 1000 ms (retry counter 2)
pnic_wlan: Event EAPOL_TX_STATUS (38) received
...

I realise now that I don't have the
pnic_wlan: Event EAPOL_RX (24) received

So the station tries until reaching timeout..
Is there anything I should activate on my .config which is not activated 
by default on the source to make the authentication through EAPOL ?

many thanks
