This is happening bcz the device is marked down in the following function.

static int
madwifi_init(struct hostapd_data *hapd)
...
...
...
madwifi_set_iface_flags(drv, 0);	/* mark down during setup */
...
...

Thus if we try to deauthenticate the stations, We get an error.

I tried the following "madwifi_set_iface_flags(drv, 1)", and the above
error does not happens and the card is configured perfectly fine.

So i advice the card should not be marked down during setup,

or

If it needs to be marked down, then the stations should not tried to be
deauthenticated.
