A bit more fiddling with yet another cheap wifi dongle and it now works. I get an error starting it via /etc/init.d but if I start the daemon manually, it starts up so I'm guessing a return code from the daemon is seen as an error.

According to lsusb, dongle is an RaLink RT5370.

It would been a bit of work on the iptables settings to be a useful general purpose AP but quite neat.

Back to the Pi camera!


EDIT: Problem was a type in the /etc/default/hostapd file. Tried again and both cheap dongles work. The other is an RTL8191.
