Use hostapd to set master mode?

where? As far as I know, ath__9k__ does, but not ath__5k__ .
According to their wiki site @ wireless.kernel.org the AP mode needs more testing,
before it will be available for the masses. 

Besides, I don't recommend anything less than 2.6.29 (yes, it's still in -rc...) for an AP,
as the network core has been modified in order to support retransmission mechanism for sleeping stations...
This is also the very reason why compat-wireless isn't a option, as it can only provide the mac80211 stack
and device drivers....
