YES, that did the trick! :)
With partial success. To summarize:

- Open System worked (only basic IPv4 tested, eg. ICMP ping)
- MAC filtering from hostapd didn't work
- WEP didn't work
- WPA and WPA2 weren't tested

I have attached a hostapd log (concatenated, commented, and gzipped)
of my testing runs.

In the end I need this to work properly as an AP with WPA2
so I'm willing to test further if somebody is willing to try to
fix the whole thing...

Thanks,

Sab
