Thanks for this!!!

I had some trouble at first, took me a couple hours. (Im not really a linux guru)

My problem was the last step of the tutorial, it said to edit /etc/default/hostapd and update a line. the file was empty for me but i added the line anyway. It said it would make it start on boot. It didnt work. after a lot of trial and error i ended up using systemd to get the wifi dongle to work at startup.

If anyone is as dumb as me and needs help hese how i did it.

Execute this command:
nano /etc/systemd/system/wifi.service


Add the following:
[Unit]
Description=Starts Wifi
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd/conf
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Execute these commands:
systemctl start wifi
systemctl enable wifi

Thanks.
