Thanks! hostapd runs now. But there's one problem remaining. The Radius 
server only seems to be looking for encapsulated EAP requests. When I 
try from a regular radius client, I get this message from hostapd (with 
debugging turned on)

RADIUS SRV: Received 116 bytes from A.B.C.D:58059
RADIUS SRV: Creating a new session
RADIUS SRV: Matching user entry found
EAP: Server state machine created
RADIUS SRV: New session 0x0 initialized
RADIUS SRV: No EAP-Message in RADIUS packet from A.B.C.D

Is there any way to use the Radius server in hostapd without sending an 
encapsulated EAP request?

Thanks,

Jason M.
