And also on any other PCI equipped machines (madwifi req pci iirc).

Hostap-modules dependency should be dropped - we use hostap from kernel.=20

I would like to get latest stable hostapd in OE.

wpa-supplicant use madwifi and also has all needed code for madwifi=20
support on PCI equipped machines.

Enable it for PCI equipped machines like it is in wpa-supplicant 0.5.x

Do this like it is done in wpa-supplicant 0.5.x
