Bug Description
Binary package hint: hostapd
By default hostapd will not launch properly from it's init script.
Symptom:
Script appears to work, say's its started hostapd and exits, but in fact hostapd is not running.
Fix:
Uncomment out RUN_DAEMON="YES" in /etc/default/
Change request:
Have RUN_DAEMON="YES" uncommented by default in /etc/default/

I have RUN_DAEMON="yes" uncomment too. I have to put in /etc/rc.local the line '/etc/init. d/hostapd start' to launch the script in boot time.
