I actually figured that out as well: In the messages file
I saw these errors:

May  6 13:12:57 tomh kernel: [ 1106.442233] compat: exports duplicate symbol vzalloc (owned by kernel)

I removed the definition of vzalloc (which is maybe defined
by fedora in some backported patch in their kernel?) and I can now load
the modules and even try to connect, but I keep getting
this sequence:

May  6 13:40:11 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: authenticated
May  6 13:40:11 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1)
May  6 13:40:14 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request

So I haven't gotten far enough to worry about DHCP or
NAT or anything yet - I only stay connected for a second. Perhaps
I should first try something less complicated than WPA2
authentication, but I won't get a chance to fool with this
more till tomorrow probably. It's looking a lot better now
that it did earlier though.

Also, when running hostapd -dd, I get an endless stream of
these messages:

Unknown Broadcom information element ignored (type=52 len=26)

don't know if that actually matters to anyone.
