Well thank you for the update, indeed it works for me now. That's
great.

There is at least one advantage to bridging in the script, the AP could
be run by wpa-supplicant and not hostapd. Wpa-supplicant doesn't bridge
the interface for you, AFAIK.

Code:
--------------------
    network={
  mode=2
  ssid="TestAccessPoint"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  proto=RSN
  group=CCMP TKIP
  psk="password"
  frequency=2437
  }
--------------------


FYI, I had to reboot twice during the process:
- After download/install: unable to configure a channel until rebooted.
Wireless firmware not loaded, I guess.
- After first config/start: the mDNS IP advertisement was, shall I say,
not right. The machine advertised 10.10.10.1 (the AP's address in case
it is not bridged). Looks benign but if you're like me and use
"http://hostname.local"; to reach the GUI, the GUI freezes at some point.
A reboot fixes the advertisement to the correct address.

I think I'll get rid of my hardware AP now. Thanks again.
