That's a misprint, right?! Because 3.0.3 still ships with 1.9.2.

That's a generic error message. You'll to be more precise in fact
hostapd has a -d and -dd switch which makes the output more
verbose.

No, 'cause you haven't shown us any of your setup :D.

Well, now that you mention it: a different stick. For example the
Fritz!WLAN USB Stick N. Even though this stick has the same
name, it's quite different, they now stick AR7010+AR9280 chips
into the device and ath9k_htc is the driver.
