There are actually two parts to hostap; hostapd, which is a daemon which
provides access point capabilities and services, and the hostap driver,
which is a device driver for prism 2/2.5 wireless devices.  The Hostap
_driver_ will only work with prism 2/2.5/3(?) devices.  But the hostap
_daemon_ should work with at least prism 2/2.5/3(?) devices using the
hostap driver, and atheros devices using the madwifi driver, and
possibly also prism54 devices using the prism54 driver.
