Incidentally, another thread on this list has covered the subject.
Though you may not be able to use the most current driver in your
project, it may be reassuring to know that this is a known issue.

I have collected the following links:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
http://the.earth.li/~martin/sisela/
http://www.wohnheim.uni-mainz.de/~rw/802.1x/
http://hostap.epitest.fi/

Some of the information found there could be of use for you. As you
already mentioned the hostap project, I think that may be the currently
most complete piece of software to accomplish what you're trying to do
-- if the driver is compatible with your hardware or you can pick out
the pieces you need and stitch them together into something usable.

There's something called hostapd which is described as a "User space
daemon for extended IEEE 802.11 management". I'm not sure if you need
it, though. Many things can be accomplished by using bridging and
iptables, although you can't implement things like power saving mode
signaling with it...

Hope you find something useful!
