Details

Hostapd in community does not work with ath9k. I forgot the exact error message (something about DTIM). However, upgrading to the latest 0.6 branch helps (I am attaching a patch).

Also, the PKGBUILD uses $srcdir a lot, which is deprecated and will not work in future makepkg versions. $pkgdir and $srcdir should be used instead.

Finally, the install message is superfluous: Those messages are only intended for important information, not restating documentation. Even if you have such a message, it should not be displayed on every single upgrade. The install file should be removed entirely in this case.
   0.6.10-git-fixes.patch (5.9 KiB)
