Well you'd be right if I was running stable. I just looked and there
is a /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf file in the stable package.
Looking at the _unstable_ package, that file is gone.
Package bug ?
Regardless, many of the examples I can find on the intertubes use the
nl80211 module, and hostapd complains that it is missing.
