Does AP w/ hostapd with official wifi dongle work?

Thanks guy. I kind of gave up on it - wasted too much time trying to get it to work. 

But if someone manages to get the dodgy Realtek drivers to work in AP mode and writes-up how they did it, I'd be happy to pick it up again and try.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
