If you really want to use hostap and are having trouble finding a supported pcie card, it might be easier to find a supported athn or ral minipcie card and a pcie carrier, this sort of thing: http://www.banggood.com/Mini-WiFi-Wan-802_11n-PCI-e-to-PCI-e-Wireless-Expansion-Card-Adapter-Convertor-p-1013592.html https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcingmap-Express-Wireless-Adapter-Antenna/dp/B0057UPNBE Personally I'd use a dedicated AP instead and hang it on a separate nic or vlan off an OpenBSD firewall.
