It seems it is necessary to set WILC MAC address after operation mode, otherwise the MAC address of the WILC MAC is reset back to what is in nvmem. This causes a failure to associate with AP after the WILC MAC address was overridden by userspace.
Test case: " ap$ cat << EOF > hostap.conf interface=wlan0 ssid=ssid hw_mode=g channel=6 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=pass wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK EOF ap$ hostapd -d hostap.conf ap$ ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1 "

AP still indicates SA with original MAC address from nvmem without this patch: " nl80211: RX frame da=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sa=60:01:23:45:67:89 bssid=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "
