Setting up AP on Rasberry Pi

[MrGreen]

Did not have much luck with my other usb wifi dongle (see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6100). Decided to buy a different make and model. Trying to get hostapd working posting all information I can think of, anything else please ask.

Could do with some help getting my Pi to work as a stand alone server for in my car (media player)... am I doing anything wrong or missing something?

Are there spaces in the Driver line, as indicated by the output?

[MrGreen]

Will check, am trying to set up wifi on raspbain but its turning into a real pain.

[MrGreen]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Configuration file: /home/archpi/hostapd-test.conf
nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode

')

After removing spaces from driver line

[MrGreen]

Yet I get

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' iwconfig

Found this guide on the web that seems to be working (even though its under Raspbian)
