That's strange. Does dmesg so anything? Are you sure that you are using
the correct version of ath6kl_sdio.ko and not some older version?

Also please enable full debug messages on hostapd and send a full log.

That might be challenging. I think it's easier if you add debug messages
and try to pinpoint where it is failing. For example
ath6kl_cfg80211_change_iface() is a good place to start debugging.
