Hello. I’m having trouble setting up a raspberry pi 3B+ with the latest hydrosys4-326b(2020-12-02).img After burning onto SD card and powering up the Pi I get the following errors. … [FAILED] Fail to start Advanced IEEE 802.11 AP and IEE 802.1X/WPS/WPA2/EPA Authenticator…. ... It seems that the Pi is unable to create the WiFI access point and broadcast it’s own WIFI network - AP mode fails to start I don’t see any ‘new network’ to join on my iPhone or laptop - See Attached error log at runtime. I also compiled from source (as in the expert setup) and it also had the same issues. I have been using this Raspberry Pi as an Octo-print Print Server perviously - so it has been working fine previously. I also switched to Raspberry Pi 4 and the same issue. Which leads me to think it may have something to do with the source? Has anyone else had this issue? or can provide a workaround? Cheers Tom

All good. I swapped to a fresh raspberry Pi 4 and everything booted up as expected. Not sure what was going on with the Pi 3+. Time to set up some sensors. 👍
Made another check using the manual installation, the error message on HOSTAPD service are ok, because the service is masked by default. The SW will unmusk it automatically at reboot. Indeed after reboot the WiFi AP was created succesfully
Just loaded the SW on the SD image, It properly established a WiFi access point.
Let's see if other will have same issue, but if it was generalized, It should have already emerged by now. Keep me updated if you find the reason.
Hello, Looks like there is a problem with hostapd service. Can you try to run it using command line and see the error message? I'll check the SD image
