Hi,

Based on my observations, there's a regression from backport 3.14-1 to 3.15-rc1-1 for WPA2 encrypted access point managed with hostapd. It might be related.

Basically with backport 3.10.17-1, 3.12-1 and 3.14-1 I can spawn an soft access point encrypted with WPA2 and connect to it but not with 3.15-rc1-1.

Hmm, I'm not aware of the actual problem -- but that description might
explain the issues I was having with wpa_supplicant over the weekend.

As the first step of authentication, the userspace daemons register with
the kernel to get notification when any new peers are available. It's
possible that the checks for which peers are acceptable changed somehow
between the kernel versions and so the notifications aren't delivered.

The best bet is to try to bisect it: try 3.13 on one device, then either
3.12 or 3.14, to try to narrow down when the change/regression was
introduced.
