hostapd: how to make it work?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up a hotspot with hostapd but when I type:
Code:

/etc/init.d/hostapd start
I have the following error:

Code:

Starting hostapd: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.confnl80211 not found.
nl80211 driver initialization failed.

Maybe it's because I have one of these crappy Broadcom wireless card coming with a dell vostro laptop (I installed kwod-wl and the wireless internet is working though).

Code:

06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Any idea on how to make it work?
Is it really because of the broadcom card?
