I am running an AP with hostapd 0.73 with also a 1T1R dongle and it
works (maybe not as fast as it could, but I am happy with its
performance).
I use the compat-wireless version from 2011-03-13 plus some patches
that Helmut suggested (which are already merged in the main branch):

[1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=commit;h=878a2bbc20100d8bccf84cc058373fe7de2e6501
[2] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=commit;h=4f3ab1e88d8b5ce4852d075016ca784a00383452
[3] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=commit;h=c8cb3a0af064fb5d9cbbaa16bd2f308ba3b90ceb
[4] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=commit;h=66b096e6ad64f718425d2de9a70d82ba187d7db4

I later tried the version compat-wireless-2011-05-05 and it did not
work, some major changes took
place in between, and I unfortunately did not have time to go deeper,
so I stayed with my
running system.

Since then, some other things have been changed in the TX queues and I
will eventually try it again.
