Sure.
I removed the net.wlan0 script, or better, i never created it.
I modified the init.d/hostapd script, not to depend on all interfaces
but on only those, which i need:
/etc/init.d/hostapd
depend() {
need net.br0
need net.eth0
use logger
}
As i said earlier, this is kind of redundant as it is possible, that
without the script, hostapd would not start that interface. But i can
not tell, i never tested it.

Damnit, you are right, i should have read the text.
After looking over this setting with a little distance for this thread,
10 days after setting this up and with yout hint, i feel this could be
smoothed up significantly ;-). So thanks for that. I think i will put
some energy in it tomorrow.
