hostapd does not explicitly delete any routing entries; the networking
stack may do that for some routes when the interface goes down, though.
The problem here is that it may not be possible to set the interface in
AP mode without setting it down at some point during the process (this
depends on the driver that is used). I don't think that adding the
routing entries belongs to hostapd, so I would rather do this based on
netlink events in another program. E.g., you could look for interface up
events and (re-)add entries whenever that shows up.
