All Atheros are not created equal. Madwifi is for Atheros' a5k series
softmac laptop chips. This is a 6k series hardmac embedded chip.

Why can't we use madwifi? I thought our wifi chips were atheros.

I'm finding it difficult to source a cheap usb wifi stick that Linux 
supports in AP mode.  Do you have an example of one that you know works 
in this way, and has Linux drivers available for armel (which 
immediately cuts out any madwifi drivers due to eabi) ?

But if you can plug a usb wifi stick which the kernel does support AP
mode you could then use the internal wifi as the uplink.

Be subversive, provide free wifi at airports!

Sadly no, as it's a hardmac chip and the proprietary firmware lacks this
feature. You should be able to use ad hoc mode for most purposes, albeit
not always as conveniently.
