Hi and Happy new year!

I'm not so fluent in English, so please excuse me. 

 

I have Lamobo R-1 with HW mod (RT5572) and the main problem is that hostapd is giving error message at start:

Thank you very much for any information how to solve this issue!

Problem solved by installation of firmware-ralink package (dmesg helped to solve the issue)!
