Thanks for the reply Dan.
Apparently I have the recent version 1.0 (that comes in Ubuntu 12.10).
The experiment that I was doing was changing MAC address and also
bonding interface (wlan0 and wlan1) with openvswitch. I uninstalled ovs
and the wireless NIC starts to work again. Clearly hostap is not the
problem.
Thank you again.
Regards.
