AP with WiFi-Dongle

[CVL]

Wifi stick is working and hostapd not.
To unmask hostapd try:

Code:

sudo systemctl unmask hostapd.service

Then try to enable hostapd again

Code:

sudo systemctl enable hostapd

unmasking hostapd works, 
enabling hostapd works as well, but the asking for the status of hostapd I get:

Code:

pi@openplotter:~ $ sudo systemctl status hostapd.service

and no possibility to connect.

Any other ideas?
