What exactly are you trying to do and what do you mean with "HostAP" in
this context? Your message was talking about HostAP (which, at least for
me, is a driver from Prism2/2.5/3 cards), wpa_supplicant (IEEE
802.1X/WPA supplicant), and hostapd (IEEE 802.1X/WPA authenticator and
other optional AP functionality).
