Hi,

thank you for this hint. My problem came from the gentoo-start-scripts
of hostapd, which require net.wlan* to be started before starting
hostapd. In gentoo's quick-start-guide for hostapd, they ask to
configure wlan0 to be in master-mode by setting "iwconfig mode master".

I think I should take a deeper look into the hostapd-documentation ;-)

Best regards and have a good start into 2009 tonight.

Jens
