hostapd EAPOL-Key timeouts from Macintosh clients

[Saul Tannenbaum]

Folks,

I'm out of my depth with this problem, and hoping for
some help.

I've been successfully using a Netgear MA311 PCI
(PRI 1.1.1, STA 1.7.4) card in my Linux box as a
basic AP, using the hostap drivers.

Recently, I've been trying to get hostapd 0.3.7 to work,
in order to upgrade to WPA, and in preparation for
replacing the MA311 802.11b card with a 802.11g
card of some kind.

I've gotten hostapd working fine in WPA Personal mode,
and I can connect from an Windows XP client without
any problems.

I've been unable to get it to connect from two
Macintoshes I've tried. The Macs both are running
Mac OS 10.3, one with an old Airport (802.11b)
card, one a newer Airport Extreme (802.11g) card.
Both should support WPA Personal, according to
Apple.

The Macs seem always to generate the following
sequence:

> Mar 12 14:41:14 gateway hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:30:65:1b:69:e4 IEEE 802.11: authentication OK (open system)
> Mar 12 14:41:14 gateway hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:30:65:1b:69:e4 WPA: event 0 notification

My hostapd.conf file is attached, with passphrase deleted.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
