Unfortunately I'm unable to help you directly, but I think maybe your problem could be solved by using some tips from this link:

I'm unsure if your chipset supports AP mode at all on Linux. You would have to read through the docs to see for sure. If you would like it to support hostapd your list is even more limited.

Have a look at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers and filter the list on the ones that support AP mode.

If you're unable to solve your problem I would suggest to ask your question on http://superuser.com/, it's a Q&A site that is dedicated to software/hardware enthusiasts.

@trungthanh: You can use any wireless adapter (wireless network card) that is supported by hostapd and your kernel. Unfortunately, the list of supported adapters aren't very long. See http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/ for more information on hostapd.
