True,

 didn't look thoroughly into the package/hostap-driver/Makefile.

Your patch is not needed, using in-kernel hostap modules is exactly what 
is being done on a 2.6 target in "package/hostap-driver".

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] use the in-kernel hostap-driver

[Alexandros C. Couloumbis]

of kmod-net-hostap so we don't break dependencies such as hostap-utils and
others.
