I vaguely remember old advice about some wifi chipsets not supporting AP mode.

E.g., Intel chips. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi

Features [...] AP mode (experimental; only on some devices/firmware versions)

And regrettably those device/firmware versions do not include the Iwl5300 controller in my laptop.
