Thanks for your replies and pointer to the code that builds.
Unfortunately, after I bring it up, it doesn't seem reliable enough to
allow connections.

In a nutshell, my phones see the AP. Sometimes I am able to connect to
it but not get an IP. Very rarely I get an IP, and my machine usually
ends up crashing some time around that.
One noticeable thing is that
Tx excessive retries
in iwconfig shows a few hundred errors per second.
Is the AP code working and stable for you?
Below is the code I wrote:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
IF=ath1
rmmod zd1211rw
sleep 1
modprobe zd1211b
killall -STOP NetworkManager
for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
echo "bringing $IF up"
ifconfig $IF up 2>/dev/null && break
sleep 1
done
ifconfig $IF up || bash -e "echo \"can't bring interface up\"; exit"
iwconfig $IF mode master
iwconfig $IF channel 3
ifconfig $IF 192.168.205.6
iwconfig $IF essid magicnet
ipmasq
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
dhcpd3 -d -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf.hide $IF
# hangs here until I stop dhcpd3
echo "cleaning up"
rmmod zd1211b
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
killall -CONT NetworkManager
