Thanks! I added wlan_tkip and ath_pci autocreate=none to /etc/modules and
success :)
Sometimes another pair of eyes helps...

There are 2 documents on the madwifi site that describes the hostapd setup:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WPA_PSK_on_Both_Ends (the "Now do the AP
side" part)
and
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/HostAP
I followed the last document to setup hostapd on my atheros NIC.
The hostapd should support all cards that are suported by madwifi AFAIK.
This are the modules I have loaded:
# Atheros
wlan
wlan_wep
wlan_scan_ap
wlan_tkip
wlan_xauth
ath_hal
ath_rate_sample
ath_pci autocreate=none
I think you missed the wlan_tkip module.
If you have an Atheros based NIC, you don't have to load the hostap
modules.
