Nazeer,
   
  I did see master and run ifconfig ath0 up.
  Do you have a working madwifi.conf for hostapd?
  This is my first time for hostapd.
  wpa_supplicant is working now. But AP side is needed to be set up by hostapd.
   
  Thanks.

Check if ur interface is in MASTER mode or not. I also encountered such
problems but found out that my interface was not in MASTER mode.

Cheers
