My gut reaction is that hostapd is issuing ioctl() calls in the wrong order and/or failing to allow a long enough delay or wait for a specific event. I'd recommend running something like: # strace -f hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf > /tmp/strace.out 2>&1 and go look for what failing call was made just before the write call that output 'Failed to update'. Hopefully, tracing the flow of that call will reveal a kernel code path that output the 'link is not ready' message. Then you'll know what 'if (somecondition)' landed you in that situation. Knowing that, it will become a lot easier to figure out what happened.
