Hostapd wifi AP problems

[shelvacu]

I'm using the raspberry pi and would like to host a wifi hotspot. I'm using an AWUS036H for a wifi adapter. This is what is given when I try to run hostapd:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started')
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'interface=wlan0
