Hi,
sorry, you have a model using that rtl8192cu chipset, which is not 100% supported (found here).
Try to exchange the hostapd.

If you want to try something new,
download the following file: hostapd-8192cu-0.8_rtw_r7475.20130812_beta-3-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz
I built this for the new LibraryBox image.

You have to download this on your computer and bring it somehow to the Pi. One option is to copy it over to an USB Stick, and plug this on your Pi and do

mkdir -p /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
cp /mnt/usb/*pkg* /root/

Then you have to run the following commands to exchange the hostapd stuff:

pacman --noconfirm --force -U hostapd
pacman --noconfirm --force -U  /root/*.pkg.*
sed 's#driver=.*#driver=rtl871xdrv#'  -i /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf

After this run

systemctl stop piratebox
systemctl start piratebox

Ah, and keep crossing fingers.

Matthias
