Firmware 1.3.4 is ok, but 1.4.9 supposedly works better.

It helps to give the full and actual command that you are using.  What
you describe here just won't work.  You gotta setup a channel and ssid
as well.  I'm using the same version as you with the following script
to bring up the hostap:

ifconfig wi0 ssid ImpTest channel 7 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap debug up
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg='wi0 ed0'

is what I'm using.  You'll likely want the same sort of thing.  I've
only been associating from NetBSD and FreeBSD clients.  However, I've
had reports of people serving 50 or 60 clients with this version.

Have I MFC'd the wi manual yet?

: I am running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE from Aug 7 on the hostap machine, and
: I have version 1.7.2.4 of /sys/dev/wi/wi_hostap.c.

This looks like the most recent version.  -current has a few more
things in it, but I don't think any of them will matter a while lot.
