Hmmmm, I tried emerging hostapd normally and I noticed this... |

|
| 51 |
* Enabling Wi-Fi Protected Setup support |
| 52 |
* Enabling drivers: |
| 53 |
* HostAP driver enabled |
| 54 |
* Wired driver enabled |
| 55 |
* Prism54 driver enabled |
| 56 |
* Madwifi driver enabled |
| 57 |
* nl80211 driver enabled |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
...which says that nl80211 is enabled, yet the defconfig file in the tar |
| 60 |
ball shows this line commented out so I am confused as to how I fix my |
| 61 |
problem... |

#CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y |
