hello
i'm french (nobody's perfect) so accept my apologizes for the english.
I try to run hostapd with am33-debian-6.0.6-xorg-armel-variscite-v4.img on a VAR-SOM-AM33
with tiwi-ble chipset
Any version of hostapd (0.7.3, 1.1 or 2.0)show something like:
... Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr de:ad:be:ef:00:00 and ssid 'test' nl80211: Set beacon (beacon_set=0) wlan0: Setup of interface done. nl80211: Event message available nl80211: Ignored unknown event (cmd=100) RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x1002 () RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'mon.wlan0' added Unknown event 5 RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11043 ([UP][RUNNING][LOWER_UP]) RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'mon.wlan0' added Unknown event 5 RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11043 ([UP][RUNNING][LOWER_UP]) RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'wlan0' added Unknown event 5 ...
and of course the hotspot is not set (no devices can "see" it).
when i try a scan:
root@arm:~# iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results
root@arm:~# lsmod Module Size Used by pvrsrvkm 179549 3 drm 144898 4 pvrsrvkm bnep 11601 2 rfcomm 45642 0 bluetooth 178921 10 bnep,rfcomm wl12xx 200359 0 mac80211 279457 1 wl12xx cfg80211 177326 2 wl12xx,mac80211 wl12xx_sdio 3834 0

I think problem is not hostapd's configuration because with anther OS hostapd works well.
So if anybody have an idea..
