USB isn't very good for hostap. If you particularly want something to use as OpenBSD hostap then an athn PCI/PCIe/minipci/minipcie card is probably the best bet, but it will be limited to 11g only unless someone ports the 11n code from FreeBSD's net80211 layer (or writes a separate implementation).
