hostapd + madwifi + bridge not working

[Gustavo Michels]

Hi,

I have a similar working setup. I had the exact same behaviour while trying to 
use CCMP and found out I could only make it work by disabling CCMP and 
allowing only TKIP.

I use wpa=3, so I have WPA and WPA2, but this wouldn't make the difference.

Here I have wpa_pairwise=TKIP.

You could replace all the above code for the following line 
on /etc/modules.d/ath_pci. 

options ath-pci autocreate=ap

Then modules-update and remove and reload the ath-pci module. The rest should 
be fine.
