There doesn't appear to be a compile-time parameter to enable more
debugging either (or I'm blind - good chance of that).  Got this from
dmesg though:

Also, in another thread you advised the user to use the wext driver
against hostap_*.  Is that the preferred driver for current versions
of hostap_*?  There's a patch in the Ubuntu network-manager that sets
the wpa-supplicant driver to hostap if the device driver is hostap_*.
They can try taking that out if it should work better.
