I tried hostapd for the first time last night and it worked with my
old PII laptop and b43. So it should work :)

I used latest git for both the kernel and hostapd. My notes here:

I did not issue these commands, but I don't know if it makes any
difference in practice.

I think I didn't do this, but can't be sure anymore.

My advice is to double check that you are really using the correct
hostapd compiled for the kernel you are running. And did you remember
to do make clean for hostapd between compilations?
