No problemo get some sleep! I’m 5 hours behind you.
OK there’s a problem…mode „Managed“ is client not „Master“.
i’m guessing that hostapd is not able to set mode master for some reason.
stop hostapd and run manually…
sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd stop
sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf -d | lessthis will display one page of the output at a time, you can use the <return> key to advance one
more line at a time, <space> key one page at time. These lines in my output show the interface
being set to mode „AP“ (access point)
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
