No. I will check again and let you know.

I will let you know after testing.

192.168.1.7 is just my freebsd laptop.

I don't know yet how to debug wlan in macbook, will look for it.

Ok, here it is:

interface=wlan0
debug=1
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=bsd
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=test
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP TKIP

After ping from rspro, from Macbook it doesn't take long, usually around
3-4ms.
