HostAP is a driver for Prism chipsets (Prism 2, Prism 2.5 and Prism 3).
Madwifi is a driver for Atheros chipsets.

positive.

I haven't heard of OLSR before, but I found it on olsr.org and it seems
to be a userspace daemon.

How would you integrate two drivers for different hardware and a
userspace application?
