madwifi does not support this kind of operation mode as far as I know,
so you would need to modify it (or the net80211 component of it to be
more precise). hostapd implements 802.11 authentication and association,
but they are only used when the driver allows this to be done (in
practice, this would now mean Host AP driver and Devicescape 802.11
code, i.e., net/mac80211 in wireless-dev.git tree which could be used
with dadwifi and Atheros cards).
