I can't say whether this is a hostapd problem or an ath9k problem yet, but it's a different behavior than with nohwcrypt=0 or without this patch. With this patch, wpa2 works perfectly, as without it, as well as wep working perfectly. I wouldn't call this report a 'ACK/NACK' report as it has caused no new problems, nor fixed any old problems. Unfortunately I don't have a log around of the old behavior right now, for comparison. I just wanted to report what I've found based on this patch.
