hostapd supports external registrars, but it does not implement the full
AP Management Interface to support all WLAN Manager Registrar
functionality.

No and I'm not aware of any plans to do so either in the future. As far
as I can tell, no WPS implementation supports this part of the
specification. Do you have any particular reasons for using some of the
missing functionality?

I don't think there are known issues in this area, but obviously this
depends on the combination of hostapd and rest of the system (mainly,
the hw/firmware/driver/802.11 stack and integration with them). In other
words, this will require running through the tests with the full system.
I don't know whether anyone can share results of this with 0.6.9 version
of hostapd and many specific version of madwifi.
