I use 2.6.29-rc6 and hostapd 0.6.8. I know that on kernels < 2.6.29 you need another patch to enable AP support, not just the one that enables AP support in ath5k. If you upgrade to 2.6.29 the old regulatory rules will be disabled by default. So unless you re-enable them (but I haven't tested with that) you'll have to install crda and the wireless regulatory database. In hostapd.conf you will have to change channel=0 to something else. That's how I got it working. -- Christoph J. Thompson
