hostapd first Launch unsuccessful

[Nazeer Khan]

Hi,

Whenever i run hostapd i have to do it twise. The first time it just stop
due to "bind(PF_UNIX)" i guess. Why does this happens the first time. The
second time i run hostapd, i am successful.

By second time i mean the following.....
-----------------------------

root at nazeer:/etc/hostapd# hostapd -dd WPA_EAP.conf
=>Error given below........

In the same terminal after the error.
root at nazeer:/etc/hostapd# hostapd -dd WPA_EAP.conf
=>Works fine......
