Bug Description

Is there any way I can get the log message from hostapd? Or see which config file was generated by the program?

Thank you for the awesome tool. If this work, I finally can get a hotspot working, been trying this for months!

Actually, I realise this is not really a bug.

I found out how to get the logs, just by starting it from command line:

./wifi-hostapd-ap
ROOT: ok. Begin ...
Testing AP...
DEVICE - ON
DNSMASQ - ON
HOSTAPD - OFF
IP FORWARDING - ON
AP IS NOT RUNNING

Start activation.

Preparation device ... OK
Check device ... OK
Starting device ... OK
Enable IP Forwardng ... OK
Set rules to IPTABLES ... OK
sh: /etc/init.d/dnsmasq: No such file or directory
Starting DNSMASQ ... OK
sh: /etc/init.d/hostapd: No such file or directory
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp1s0 -j MASQUERADE ... FAIL
"AP is not running!"
Testing AP...
DEVICE - ON
DNSMASQ - ON
HOSTAPD - OFF
IP FORWARDING - ON
AP IS NOT RUNNING

Now I need to figure out what went wrong...

I can also run hostapd, but there is no /etc/init.d/hostapd

same with dnsmasq. Perhaps in opensuse they are in different directories?

I also searched for the hostapd.conf file, but I could not find it, only my own default file (which doesn't work). I tried to look in your code but I couldn't find where it is being stored.

Thanks!
