| I spent some time today on trying to get it to act as an Access Point.

run(4) does not support HostAP mode and probably never will as I'm not
inclined to add support for it.  Advertising HostAP support in ural(4)
and rum(4) was a mistake I'm not going to reproduce.
Those devices simply don't have what it takes to properly support
HostAP mode.  I'm not removing HostAP from ural(4) and rum(4) because
some people already depend on it, but quite frankly, it is nothing
else than a toy.  You will start running into troubles as soon as you
start mixing 11b and 11g stations in your BSS.
Beacons are simply never updated.  There is also no rate control in
HostAP mode with these devices.

Could you please send me the output of the panic?
It should never panic, no matter what you do.
