Eu tenho vários erros ao tentar iniciar o Hostapd. Vou postar a saída de erros que recebi depois que tentei iniciá-lo e observei o status:

Não sei por que ele não encontra o arquivo de configuração que parece procurar por '' aka nothing...! Eu não editei nada....! Aqui, se eu tentar iniciá-lo normal:
root@l0calh0st:~# service hostapd start
Job for hostapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status hostapd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Se usar o comando "journalct1 -xe", recebo:
root@l0calh0st:~# journalctl -xe
