2.4.18 with NewNat patch from http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/newnat.html

# uname -a
Linux westpeak 2.4.18-newnat13+helpers #1 Thu Oct 30 20:21:02 SGT 2003 
i586 GNU/Linux

#grep Version include/linux/wireless.h
  * Version :    12      5.10.01

In fact this kernel works for earlier version (0.0.3) of hostapd and 
hostap modules

# iwpriv wlan0 hostapd 1
wlan0     no private ioctls.

# iwpriv wlan0
wlan0     no private ioctls.

# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     no wireless extensions.

The output seems strange to me because I have specified wireless options 
in my kernel configuration. See below:

#
# Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)
#
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
# CONFIG_STRIP is not set
# CONFIG_WAVELAN is not set
# CONFIG_ARLAN is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500 is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500_NONCS is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500_PROC is not set
# CONFIG_AIRO is not set
# CONFIG_HERMES is not set
# CONFIG_PLX_HERMES is not set
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

Here are some further information:
