That is asking hostapd to configure eth0 using the default driver
interface. Since it looked like you included support for more than one
driver interface in the build, you will need to specify that this
RADIUS-server-only case does not use any real driver operations. You can
do that by adding the following item into hostapd.conf:

driver=none
