so far I've fixed a typo in the interfaces - the address for the ath0 iface was
not correctly set. I also removed tkip as it was suggested. Now Windows XP shows
me my AP with the WPA2 authentication. But no matter what I do I cannot connect
to the AP and I still cannot start the hostapd. I also started kismet on my
linux machine and it shows my AP as not secured! And if I just scan access
points on my linux machine it doesn't show my AP at all! 

I do not know what to do next
