This callback was added to allow some of the initialization code to run
for extended periods of time (e.g., radar detection). However, the code
that would need this has not been merged into hostapd yet. This is quite
recent change, so there has not been that much testing on it. Then
again, this is the first time I hear a report of segfault here.

Could you please verify that cb is looking like a valid pointer? It
should be pointing to setup_interface_done().

Could you please send your configuration file (feel free to remove any
passwords and private data), so that I can try to reproduce this?
