without knowing any details of the kernel hangs, it is impossible to know what
might be wrong. If you switch to the logging console immediately upon starting
hostapd, is anything reported on the screen?
I have not used the RTL8192DE as an AP, but the SE variety does work. There are
some important fixes for AP mode that are not in compat-wireless as old as the
one you are using. Please try a version from this week. Those fixes are also not
included in the driver on the Realtek site.
What kernel version are you using? Is there a possibility to switch to the
kernel from the wireless-testing git tree?
