Hello when trying to start I get this error not sure how to fix.

I would say the above gives sufficient hints at what is wrong...
hostapd.conf as follows: bclark@localhost hostapd]$ sudo cat hostapd.conf
[...]
# DO NOT FORGET TO SET A WPA PASSPHRASE!! wpa_passphrase=<removed> # Most modern wireless drivers in the kernel need driver=nl80211 driver=iwlegacy
driver here means the driver api layer within hostapd, not the device driver within the kernel. According to this table [1] iwlegacy supports cfg80211 so you should be fine using 'driver=nl80211' here. Despite its name iwlegacy is a relatively modern driver ;-)
