Huh... That rt3070 device or driver sure takes long to deliver the TX
status information.

And since the station you are using here seems to send some Data frames
quickly after the association, it happens to hit a race condition
between the association response TX status callback and first Data frame
being received. This in turn makes hostapd disassociate the station
since from its view point, the station tried to send a Data frame while
it had not yet completed association.

You can now find a workaround for this in the current development branch
for hostapd:
