Actually, all the needed components are open source. Only closed blob is the firmware (wl1271-fw-ap.bin) and that's available from TI.

Kernel sources in the latest plus can be patched from ti-utils to load the AP mode firmware. There's no need for any funny business with user-mode bouncers, you can just use NAT and wpasupplicant to launch up the network.
