Unable to connect to access point created on BeagleBone Black?

Hi everyone,

I used Edimax Nano USB EW-7811Un(RTL8188CUS chipset) to create access point on BBB. I used following configuration:

interface=wlan0
driver=rtl871xdrv
ssid=Aashish
channel=1
wmm_enabled=0
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=Avi
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
auth_algs=1
macaddr_acl=0

By this using general settings I was able to create AP but when I tried to connect it, other devices(stations) were unable to get IP from BBB. On terminal it was showing error :

WPA: Use EAPOL-Key timeout of 1000 ms (retry counter 1)

Basically it goes into Idle state because it didn't get IP from BBB.

Please help me with this,
