Subject: hostapd incompatible with 2.6.33 kernel
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:17:55 +0100
Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.10-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Running kernel 2.6.32.8 together with the above hostapd version worked 
just fine but after I've updated the kernel from 2.6.32.8 to 2.6.33 
(both from kernel.org) hostapd does not start any more.

Hi everyone,

I tried linux kernel 2.6.33 with hostapd both 0.6.9-3 and 0.6.10-1, and they 
don't work. So it's not restricted to 0.6.10-2.

Regards,
Lee

That's a problem that could be fixed, but I aint looked into it myself.
Thanks for the extra info.

I've encountered the exact same errors with Linux 2.6.33.1, and solved
them by compiling the kernel with CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y ("cfg80211
wireless extensions compatibility").  Probably this used to be tacit
and now they've made it an option defaulting to no.  This could
arguably be better documented.

Hope this helps,
