Has anyone got FreeBSD 6.0 to work as a wireless access point using WPA?

I'm running a Prism 2.5 based wireless card and have been using it as an access point for years. It stills works OK but I installed the hostapd port in order to add WPA authentication. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work as it complains when I run it as follows:

bsd_configure_wpa: group key cipher=AES-CCM (3)
ioctl[SIOCS80211]: Invalid argument

I'm not sure whether hostapd is configured right as there seems to be no documentation for it.

Can anyone shed some light on this or am I barking up the wrong tree as far as WPA is concerned?

The above error is likely because you don't have wlan_ccmp loaded/configured. However

ifconfig wi0 list caps

should indicate the driver lacks support for WPA1/WPA2. Guess it would be good for hostpad to check that.
