I already tried to reply twice but my replies are gone. Something wrong with
this forum. So I try to reply to myself

-----------------------------------------

I removed TKIP as was suggested but still cannot start hostapd. Neither can I
connect to the AP wrom a Windows host. Windows shows my AP and it says it is
WPA2 but it cannot connect. 

Strange but if I start a kismet on a linux host it shows my AP as non secure.

ps using wext as driver in hostapd.conf doesn't help (it says no such driver)
psps bridging lan and wlan interfaces doesn't help either
