Thanks! I finally got a working madwifi AP setup running with WPA after
moving to BSD branch and I'm now able to test hostapd with madwifi. I
applied your patch for hostapd to enable RADIUS accounting with madwifi
driver and verified that it works with the netlink message. The procfs
information does not seem to be available from the driver, so interim
accounting messages are not currently supported.
