Consider me a cynical pessimist then. Regarding WiFi, the most common kind of questions here are (rephrased to hint a solution): 1) Why my WiFi kind refuses to work without non-free firmware? 2) Why using Network Manager prevents me from associating with AP? 3) It wrote all kinds of weird stuff into my resolv.conf, how do I change that? 4) What's Predictable Interface Naming, how do I get my wlan0 back? And regarding hostapd configuration - I recall zero for the last two-three years. Either it works for anyone out of the box without any trouble, or, rather, anyone's using consumer-grade WiFi boxen without any "user-serviceable parts inside". Reco
