Description of problem: hostapd 0.6.10 appears to be broken with ath9k drivers, as indicated here: http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2010-February/021118.html I can reproduce the issue discussed there upon upgrading to 0.6.10. 0.6.9 does not exhibit this problem.

I will test this later today to verify that it fixed my issue. Right now running the above command is still trying to give me 0.6.10-1
