I'm trying to set up a Raspberry Pi 3b+ (running Raspbian Stretch) as a wireless access point (using the built-in wireless interface) following the official documentation.
After setting up /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf and running hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I get the following:
root@godzilla:/etc/init.d# hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf looks like this:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=example
hw_mode=g
channel=7
wmm_enabled=0
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=example
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
How do I make this work?
