Hostapd - drivers and config

[Kevern]

Hi All, could someone post a /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf file for a working hostapd install where wlan0 has static IPv4. Seems the default driver for Debian 9 stretch "20170417-tinker-board-linaro-stretch-alip-v1.8" Wi-Fi realtek "rtl8723bs" chip does not work when called by hostapd.

"driver initialization failed"

modinfo 8723bs --> filename:       /lib/modules/4.4.16-00006-g4431f98-dirty/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8723bs/8723bs.ko

Or can someone post a working config for wlan0 of these files:
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/dnsmasq.conf
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

and results of
lsmod and modinfo

We are busy building a range of solutions and images for Tinkerboard and will post the finished script here for benefit of all.

Thanks in advance.
