Could you please explain that a bit more thoroughly? I'm not sure I understood correctly what you would like to do. If you would like to receive management frames, you will probably need to use Host AP mode (and then try to implement auth/assoc for station mode; I'm actually going to do this at some point). Sending frames should work also in station modes, but it has some limits (like source address must be own addr and BSSID is fixed).
