Thats fantastic: I wasn't expecting a patch, just a push in the right  
direction.  You've given a huge push.

I modified your patch slightly and got it to compile and now its half  
added the device to hal.
It's adding the wmaster0 device (for being an access point) to hal, but  
not wlan0.

0: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_0d_f0_17_33_ba'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_0d_f0_17_33_ba'  (string)
  linux.subsystem = 'net'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  net.interface_up = false  (bool)
  net.arp_proto_hw_id = 801  (0x321)  (int)
  net.linux.ifindex = 7  (0x7)  (int)
  net.address = '00:0d:f0:17:33:ba'  (string)
  net.interface = 'wmaster0'  (string)
  net.physical_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1814_201'   
(string)
  info.capabilities = { 'net' } (string list)
  info.category = 'net'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1814_201'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/wmaster0'  (string)

I'm digging around through the source to try to work out if theres any  
other points that the wlan0 device is added, but any help would be great.

For the record, the change to your patch needed to be from
SET_NETDEV_DEV(net_dev, pci_dev->dev);
to
SET_NETDEV_DEV(net_dev, &pci_dev->dev);
