The hostapd log appears to show normal operation (responding to probe requests in most cases). Not sure why the SSID is not being broadcast, as nl80211 reports "nl80211: hidden SSID not in use". Anyways, there is no STA association attempt from the STA sending the probe requests, so it's possible there is a network configuration mismatch between the AP and the STA. In your hostapd.conf file, you set wpa=3 which indicates you want to support both WPA1 and WPA2. However, your wpa_pairwise value is set to both CCMP and TKIP. Suggest using the default value (TKIP only) for wpa_pairwise, because WPA1 does not officially support CCMP and might be causing your STA driver to reject the hostapd configuration. In other words, you should only use TKIP with WPA1, and CCMP with WPA2. Perhaps try to simplify the configuration for now: - Fixed channel (i.e. 'channel=5') - Single WPA mode (i.e. 'wpa=2') Also, change logger_syslog_level and logger_stdout_level to 0 (maximum logging).
