Unless something's changed recently since the last time I looked, the XO's
wifi chip doesn't support hostapd.  The best I've been able to kludge
together (back when I used the XO as a portable XS to tote to training
sessions) was a USB-Ethernet adapter on eth1 connected to an old Linksys
AP.  If wifi was available, the XO's WLAN worked as eth0.
