Small correction for a mistyped patch, the actual patch for the hostapd 
with driver=wired regression would be:

[1]	Fix hostapd operation without hw_mode driver data
	http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=e9b783d58c23a7bb50b2f25bce7157f1f3b5d58b

The afforementioned/ mispasted "hostapd: Verify VHT 160/80+80 MHz driver 
support" introduced the bug by trying to enforce channel bandwidth 
conditions for non-wireless interfaces as well (which can only fail on
a wired interface).
