RaspberryPi with Realtek RTL8188 and custom hostapd

$

I bought a TL-WN725N to run an AP on my RPi for a PirateBox. The following page provided a manual to get a custom hostapd, which actually runs with that Wifi USB plug:
[www.jenssegers.be]

now after the installation of the custom hostapd, the binary path for hostapd was
/usr/local/bin/hostapd
which I linked with
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/hostapd /usr/sbin/hostapd
so that the piratebox start/stop script can find it.
However, it does not work:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/piratebox start
[....] Starting script piratebox :
Generating hosts file .... 
Generating dnsmasq.conf .....
Generating Environment-config for ligttpd .....
Empty tmp folder
rm: cannot remove `/opt/piratebox/tmp/': Is a directory
[ ok ] Starting hostap... :.
[....]   Setting up wlan:Bringing up wifi interface wlan0 
Setting up wlan0
[ ok ] Starting dnsmasq... :.
[ ok ] Starting droopy...:.
Generated HTML-Shoutbox File.
[ ok ] Starting lighttpd...:.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $
after this, no wlan host is visible. There must be some special case for the set-up as explained in "Manual install" in
[piratebox.aod-rpg.de]

what can I do to debug this?
