I sent Jouni code to add support for this on freebsd using "driver acl 
support"--basically abstract acl-related operations so a driver can 
intercept them and not depend on receiving mgt frames.  Not sure if he 
ever merged it.  If it's not in the hostapd repo you can pull it from 
freebsd's CVS (contrib/hostapd).  Integrating it w/ madwifi is another 
matter...
