Ah ha! Yes, the default hostapd was working fine for me (except for timing
of the init) when I had an open network. In my old kernel on a different
SD card, I had previously compiled hostapd. Thanks for the link with
straightforward instructions.
hostapd is still having some difficulties finding wlan0 during boot, so I
added a post-up to my /etc/network/interfaces.
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.4.1
network 192.168.4.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.255
post-up /usr/sbin/service hostapd restart
All is good now!
