I don't think the hostapd page would actively advertize support for
proprietary driver available only for one embedded platform.
Anyway, from kamikaze 7.09 sources, docs/wireless.tex:
"Each wireless driver has its own configuration script
in /lib/wifi/driver_name.sh which handles driver specific options and
configurations. This script is also calling driver specific binaries
like wlc for Broadcom, or hostapd and wpa_supplicant for atheros. The
reason for using such architecture, is that it abstracts the driver
configuration"
That means that hostapd is not used with the proprietary Broadcom
driver.
