Hmmmm, I tried emerging hostapd normally and I noticed this...

ball shows this line commented out so I am confused as to how I fix my
problem...
#CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
In my experience this notation will be used to suggest the default.
I.E. if there's no entry for CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211 (or it's commented
out) then the option will be enabled by default.
If the config file said
#CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=n
then I would tend to assume that the option will be disabled by
default, and that this line needs uncommenting and changing in order
to enable it.
I can't say that everyone uses this convention, or even that I've ever
read it stated, but
1) if I look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config, for example, all the options
that I've set myself are lines I've had to uncomment AND change.
2) the compiler / build tool says it's building your module, anyway.
Who cares what the config file says?
Stroller.
