Description: User space daemon for access point

This is a work in progress, preliminary and need testing version. (the same version work fine but testing means see if it work with d80211 based wifi module which are integrated in the 2.6.21rc1 kernel)

Mock log avaible in the same directory
rpmlint is silent
compiled on fc6 for fc7 i386 (x86_64 can be done if needed)

A discution should be held about inclusion of madwifi lib needed to enable master mode support for this module (without including madwifi binary daemon)

yet, enabling d80211 means to bundle d80211 taken from intel website (or else)... This solution isn't good and headers should be held in kernel-header (this wasn't the case with 2.6.20-1.2949.fc7)
Also, using a proper versionned BR about kernel-headers since it will requires 2.6.21rc1 from kernel.org that are kernel.2.6.20_and_some_more in fedora. This would mean the easier BR will be to use 2.6.21 when avaible...

Question is the relation with wpa-supplicant because it will also need paching against d80211 and may need to enable wpa_supplicant-devel to allow using wpa on master mode acces point...
