[FYI] compiling hostapd against latest wireless-dev

[Johannes Berg]

... isn't really possible at the moment. But you only need to change
some include paths (to be able to include the
net/mac80211/mac80211_common.h header!) and apply this change to be able
to include include/net/mac80211.h into the userspace code.

And no, this shouldn't be applied. Rather should the prism ioctl foo be
deleted.

Which version of hostapd did you try to compile here? The current
development branch does not include net/mac80211.h and the include path
has also been changed from net/d80211 to net/mac80211 in example
configuration.

I was a bit in a hurry and just downloaded the latest release. Thanks
for the heads up, I'll give the dev version a try.

Right; if there's something that the prism ioctls do that cfg80211
doesn't, and that something is useful, then we probably need to extend
cfg80211 to do that thing.  Then we rip out all the custom ioctl junk
everywhere.

Yep. I got bcm43xx working in master mode now so I can start doing
exactly that.
