I am trying to get this wifi dongle working on a BBB with Ubuntu 16.04.
The adapter can be seen

Adapter

capabilities: ethernet physical
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=g_ether driverversion=29-May-2008
firmware=musb-hdrc ip=192.168.7.2 link=no multicast=yes
I can ping the adapter from within the ssh session so I guess it is
working. I want to set up HostAPD so it is open (no security) and then
directs any connected clients to a webserver home page hosted on the BBB.
Struggling to sort out the HostAPD config.
### Wireless network name ###
interface=usb0
#
### Set your bridge name ###
#bridge=br0
#driver
driver=g_ether
country_code=NZ
ssid=myserver
channel=7
hw_mode=g
## Accept all MAC address ###
macaddr_acl=0
#enables/disables broadcasting the ssid
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
# Needed for Windows clients
eapol_key_index_workaround=0
But when I test it I have an error around the driver not being recognised.
There are multiple tutorials around loading the driver for this adapter but
all seem to link to a dead git.
Do I need to load the specific driver for this? I have read for this
version of Ubuntu the adpater should just work?
How should I configure HostAPD
