Patches for making IBSS-RSN (WPA2 for ADHOC) work correctly are still pending on
the hostapd/wpa_supplicant mailing list...I hope they get merged soon.

If they are not merged in the upstream hostapd, I'll try to push them to
openwrt.

Also a small change to mac80211 is required (this has already been merged
upstream)

Cheers,
