After all the issues I had I decided to wait until all patches make it into the official tree. Yesterday I've downloaded the latest compat-wireless, hostapd 0.6.9, installed it and everything worked out of the box, including open mode and WPA and on both WM6 smartphone and WM5 pocket pc. And that's on 2.6.27-14 kernel (currently latest ubuntu kernel).
