Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.9-3
Severity: important

Debian squeeze 2.6.32-trunk-686

After upgrading from hostapd 1:0.6.9-3 to 1:0.6.10-1 hostapd failes to start with message from rmdir about missing control interface directory.

With starting from /usr/sbin/hostapd -v it says:

nl80211 driver initialization failed

Rollback to 1:0.6.9-3 succeeded.
