Thanks, applied.

Yeah.. I don't really care that much about these warnings since we are
talking about using the driver with Linux wireless extensions disabled..
hostapd does not work with that kind of configuration and will probably
never work. I would not have much problems with requiring WIRELESS_EXT
for Host AP driver anyway.. It was just easy enough to make the
compilation work so now it uses some more #if blocks and might at least
work in some sort of minimal mode without WIRELESS_EXT.
