Thank you for looking into this. That's what I meant, but I cannot be sure
now. I have so many hostapd versions. :( I was pretty sure I forgot to copy
and edit the .config file before compiling the git version of hostapd (0.7.0
from last week or so). I will try to reproduce what I claimed earlier.
Unfortunately my rt61 is being used by several people, so I find rare
opportunities to test new configurations.

If you mean not specifying driver=nl80211 in hostapd.conf and you have

No, I had this line in hostapd.conf.

Thanks also John for the success report. It gives me a little more
confidence in getting this to work. I have the same configuration, but I
suspect there are old programs in my Debian unstable/testing distribution.
Today I upgraded udev and now I get the "allowed channels" list in hostapd
output. That's a major improvement for me. I also manually installed
wireless-regdb and crda packages. I'm not sure if they are used, but I see
the udev messages in the monitor program when I run hostapd.

I'll hopefully report success next time I write.
