hostapd rt2800pci «Hardware does not support configured mode»

Hello
I am trying to use my fit-pc as a wifi access point. Here is wat lspci says about my wireless card:
"
lspci |grep Wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
"
It seems to be possible through with the mac80211 driver ( http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rt2800pci )
In my hostapd.conf tell hostapd.conf to use nl80211.

Still when I do : #hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
I've got this message :
"Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Hardware does not support configured mode
wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured mode (2)
Could not select hw_mode and channel. (-1)
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
zsh: exit 1     hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
"

Someone know if there is a particual configuration to use rt2800pci?
