For this setting to work, you also need to add ath0 to your bridge br0. Ath0 at that point will not need it's own IP. Also, kismet is showing your AP as unsecured because hostap is not running. If hostap is not running, then kismet is not detecting encrypted frames.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Problem starting hostapd using Voyage 0.6.1 and madwifi driver on Alix.2d3
You need to define the bridge as part of the hostapd.conf ie: interface=ath0 bridge=br0 otherwise driver will not pass traffic through the bridge and initialization will fail.
