For people who try to use the LIBNL >= 2.0, it would be very nice to apply this patch in to the hostapd/defconfig file:<br><br># git diff defconfig<br>diff --git a/hostapd/defconfig b/hostapd/defconfig<br>index 2591e71..0b75f78 100644<br>

</div>Because you have not told hostapd to use nl80211 driver (driver=nl80211<br>
