The question was, what is the legal way to get kernel sources suitable
for hostap build.

Hm... does this mean it is better to wait some time (is there any
estimation, even rough?) then to try? My situation is even more
complicated, I want to run hostap on non-intel, Alpha architecture,
previous time I tried (~two months ago) it built but did not work.
