David, I've had nothing but trouble with running my wireless card, a Netgear 401 in a 301 PCI cradle, in hostap mode. After a little while, usually minutes, all networking stops. From that stage on the wi0 interface is dead but my normal ethernet interfaces come back to life in a couple of minutes. If I go back to the previous version of the wi driver things work great. maybe you should try that and see how you fare.
