Your net.wlan0 script is trying to bring up net.wlan0. The drivers you
are using created an interface of "wlan0ap".
I think "ifconfig wlan0ap up" will probably get it going. You will want
to change your init script to reflect the change in interface names. I
suspect the hostap drivers got updated a long a time ago and you just
never noticed without a reboot.
