[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#573048: hostapd incompatible with 2.6.33 kernel

Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.10-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Running kernel 2.6.32.8 together with the above hostapd version worked
just fine but after I've updated the kernel from 2.6.32.8 to 2.6.33
(both from kernel.org) hostapd does not start any more.
Output of "/etc/init.d/hostapd":
Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapdioctl[SIOCGIWRANGE]:
Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWRTS]: Invalid argument
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
(warning).
Manually starting hostapd using the cmd "hostapd -t -P
/var/run/hostapd.pid -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" reports:
