Anyone have a working hostapd conf file for AC?

[Ben Greear]

For completeness, I'm adding the config that works for me below.

With this I can get around 380Mbps TCP throughput downloading,
over the air, using the .467 firmware.  I have not yet tried to
do any significant tuning to improve this throughput.

Part of my earlier problems was that I had a patch to ath10k
that enabled raw rx mode, and that at least partially breaks
AP mode (I think standard firmware probably cannot deal with
tx mode of different type from rx mode).
I just fixed my code to not enable that feature on standard firmware.
