When using Hostapd in Ubuntu why can my wireless card change to the nl80211 driver that hostapd supports ?
My wireles driver is Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1509 Kernel driver in use: brcm80211 Kernel modules: brcm80211
If you want your wireless card change to the nl80211 driver that hostapd supports you need to use a different driver for your wifi-card. As you mentioned driver in use is brcm80211, it does not support nl80211. You need to use brcmsmac driver for your card which comes installed with ubuntu 11.04,11.10.
