Description Ben Schwartz 2008-07-09 23:16:11 UTC

The net-wireless/hostapd/0.6.3-r1 ebuild attempts to determine whether it's running under 2.6.26 using the command

grep NL80211_IFTYPE_AP: ${KV_DIR}/net/mac80211/cfg.c

In vanilla-sources-2.6.26_rc9, this string does not appear in that file, the command returns false, and so nl80211 support is not compiled into hostapd.

There has clearly been some kind of misunderstanding here.

Reproducible: Always
