ath5k AP support?

[Tomasz Chmielewski <mangoo@wpkg.org>]

According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k, AP mode is 
"reported to work, we just need some further tests on all cards to be sure".

I just tried it with 2.6.30 kernel with this card:

00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 
Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)

And it doesn't work:

1245188059.756414: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlan0.conf
1245188059.766698: nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 6

ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=3 eloop_data=0x47b860 user_data=0x47bda0

Is there anything more needed for ath5k to work (some external patches, 
git tree etc.)?

I tested it on ASUS WL-500gP (BCM47XX mips platform).
