It worked!
Or at least it seems to (I didn't measure what's on the air yet).
This is output after restartif:

Just two problems seem to persist:
1.- Why restartif complains about netcs1 and netcs2 (not such device)?
2.- Why I setup ESSID and txpower to 'amb3' and 100mW through the WISP-Dist
Configuration panel but iwconfig shows different settings for netcs2? These
settings can be changed by hand but are restored by rebooting or after
restartif.
Well, it was a long way to reach this point and some steps must be done yet but
thank you very much for your incredible help.
