AFAIK the man pages are all up to date and explain the current state on a per driver basis. I don't have anything to add to what the pages say. To summarize: For best hostap experience use a supported athn(4) device on PCI. That's what I use at home and it just works. Avoid USB for hostap if at all possible.
