Comment 0 for bug 1289047

When trying to create an access point, I am met with a fatal error with hostapd:

nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

What worked before no longer works today after a package upgrade.
