One question, if we load the modified 8192cu Kernel driver, why doesn't the standard Raspbian hostapd just work? Could it be that when running the modified kernel driver, the driver name changes from nl80211 to rtl871xdrv?

Thank you for all the help and info, but I am having problems making this. I have Raspberry Pi 2 with Rasbian 2015-05-05 image. USB stick is rtl8192cu as requested. I have many times tried to compile this whole thing, but this does not work. I tried that " rpi-source with the parameter --skip-gcc" and "ln -s ~/linux/arch/arm ~/linux/arch/armv7l" but the pri-source now crashes truly badly.. I just need to have the Drivers to the USB stick in order to make Bridge AP or with local DHCP server..

Maybe the client is not supporting the key (although I have seen this only with some older Windows-clients). It is also in the tutorial somewhere .
