hi, I sent the following mail(attached) to the hostapd mailing list,but
Now I think It's a driver issue.
Is it possible to make an access point with a rt2870 card.
Does the driver support it?
I don't have much hope for now as it is a staging driver...and it
displayed a warning about that in dmesg...

I tried that,
hostapd put the card in master mode
unfortunately once in master mode,impossible to find the essid when
scanning.

You could try compat-wireless and the rt2800usb driver.
That one actually does have Master mode support, but doesn't work
on all cards yet. rt2800usb is also found in the main kernel tree, but
using compat-wireless will give you the most recent version with
_many_ fixes applied to it. :)
