I'm inclined to agree. I'd like it if Johannes agreed too. :-)

Well.. I see two possible fixes here: we'll finally apply that patch or
point to http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/enable-ap-mode.patch which does
not change its URL all the time.. I'm starting to lean more towards the
prior option, though, since I'm getting tired of pointing people to this
patch whenever they complain that hostapd does not work with mac80211.

No good, the numbering changes all the time.

I'd hate shipping it when there are still things to work out; how about
we put it into -testing but not into -next? I just looked at the list
and we still have
* basic rate set
* tx queue params
left to do.

Well I might be OK with that -- but are you (and Johannes) ready
to deal with the various "ap mode doesn't work with my hostapd
configuration" problems?

I think that that is a better and more productive problem to handle
assuming the issues are indeed because of something missing from
cfg80211 configuration. I'm supposed to make sure that everything needed
is there anyway and getting additional people testing various
combinations and reporting potential problems sounds useful.

I can probably live with that.
