[ath9k-devel] hostapd-0.7-1 failed work with ath9k

[Zhang Yanfei-B21500 <B21500@freescale.com>]

Hi All

	I used the hostapd-0.7.1 and ath9k driver to setup a AP. With
ath9k, the station mode is work well. But in AP mode,  I follow the
guide the hostapd guide in ath9k. 

Enable the NL80211 driver and run hostapd, but it always failed as
below:
#hostapd -d /etc/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
Line 2: invalid/unknown driver 'nl80211'
1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd.conf'
root at wrt:/# cat /etc/hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test


Regards,
yanfei
