Thanks again for your help. But now I have next problem and quick
googling didn't give me any answers. Here is what I get from hostapd:

ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETPARAM]: Invalid argument
ath0: DRIVER Error enabling WPA/802.1X!
IEEE 802.1X initialization failed.
ath0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory

Why is it complaining about 802.1X? My setup is using WPA-PSK, not
802.1X. Do I miss some modules or have I compiled hostapd or madwifi
driver with wrong parameters?
