ath9k hostapd problem

Hello.
I can't pass test for creating access point via my atheros wi-fi card.

% lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i network

06:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Dell Device 020c
	Kernel driver in use: ath9k
	Kernel modules: ath9k

% sudo hostapd test.conf 

Configuration file: test.conf
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp6s0 disabled_11b_rates=0
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
wlp6s0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wlp6s0: AP-DISABLED 
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlp6s0 wasn't started

% cat test.conf 

interface=wlp6s0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1

What the problem?
Thanks.
