It looks like you have found a bug in ath(4). I cannot receive beacons
in hostap mode, either. Monitor mode just crashes the computer (Maybe
I am using an out-of-date HAL.)

If you could receive the beacons, I am not sure that it will solve
the problem. Can you explain what you are trying to do with the
beacons? Locate the other APs?
