./hostapd: 49: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

[Erik Grootjans]

Because emdebian is down, i'm using the build fs from debwrt.
In this file there are a few things to correct:

1) hostapd-mini has to be replaced by hostapd -- see also ticket 12
2) DAEMON_CONF" from /etc/hostapd-mini/wpa.conf to /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wpa.conf
3) function check() { to check() {

See down here for the corrected file:
