I have made a PC an Access Point using the following link:

https://seravo.fi/2014/create-wireless-access-point-hostapd

But whenever I connect to the AP my kernel prints the following error:

wlan0: authentication with e8:de:27:0b:93:bb timed out

The kernel version is Ubuntu 3.13.2 and running Ubuntu 14.04.3 32 bit PC. Hostapd version is 1.0-3.

Try to specify only the relevant authentication options in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:

wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256  

If this doesn't work, run the daemon by hand in debug mode to see where isn't working:

hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
