Hostapd and ath9k - AP not working

[Helena Zhang]

Did testing with station and a linksys router on 11n mode today and was able
to get iperf throughput of 80 Mb between the station and a computer through
the router. So there seems to be something wrong with the ap code, but I
can't figure out where the problem might be.
