You need to hack the startup scripts so that when you do a normal wlan connect it will load the normal mode wl12xx drivers (wl12xx_spi, wl12xx_sdio) and push up the wl1271-fw.bin firmware to the chip, and when you set up the AP mode it will unload the normal mode cleanly, push up the wl1271-fw-ap.bin firmware and kll off the network manager without affecting the 3g connection...
See, you already provided a solution

For those interessted, the linux kernel pages describes quite well what needs to be considered to achieve this (and other work)
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx
For one, if we want to implement the open source drivers, it *seems* two firmware blobs for station and accespoint modes, plus, the sdio seems not supported anymore (eg on our 2.6.32 kernel) - a good reason to try to change this
