According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k, AP mode is
"reported to work, we just need some further tests on all cards to be sure".

I just tried it with 2.6.30 kernel with this card:

2.6.30 does not enable AP mode, you should try the wireless-testing
tree instead.

There is at least one known bug (the patch at the end is broken but
close):  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13237

I tried compat-wireless-2009-06-17, but I can't connect:

Jun 18 22:12:31 mangoo hostapd: wlan1: STA 00:23:08:78:d4:5f IEEE 802.11: authenticated Jun 18 22:12:31 mangoo hostapd: wlan1: STA 00:23:08:78:d4:5f IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Jun 18 22:12:34 mangoo hostapd: wlan1: STA 00:23:08:78:d4:5f IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request Jun 18 22:12:40 mangoo hostapd: wlan1: STA 00:23:08:78:d4:5f IEEE 802.11: authenticated
(...)

Oh well.
The above is with hostapd 0.7.0 snapshot.
With 0.6.9 I can connect and the connection works fine

Is it normal?

hostapd 0.7.0 snapshot worked with a b43 card (but my b43 card doesn't work well on my ASUS router, and hence I'm trying a different card, ath5k).
