It could be justifiable to add support for validating supporting
interface combinations with drivers that actually advertise such
information (not all do). However, that would require considerable
amount of work, so this may depend on someone contributing a patch to
add such validation.. For now, I added a note into hostapd.conf with a
pointer to "iw list" for the case of nl80211 driver interface and recent
Linux kernel versions.
