WPA Access Point

Has anyone got FreeBSD 6.0 to work as a wireless access point using WPA?

I'm running a Prism 2.5 based wireless card and have been using it as 
an access point for years. It stills works OK but I installed the 
hostapd port in order to add WPA authentication. Unfortunately this 
doesn't seem to work as it complains when I run it as follows:

bsd_configure_wpa: group key cipher=AES-CCM (3)
ioctl[SIOCS80211]: Invalid argument

I'm not sure whether hostapd is configured right as there seems to be 
no documentation for it.

Can anyone shed some light on this or am I barking up the wrong tree as 
far as WPA is concerned?
