Hello everyone,

So far this week has been the most challenging, most of the time was spent 
on hardware testing on RPi.
The problem that i faced during testing was lack of good documentation for 
`/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf`, had to look around a lot into various 
forums, websites, etc to understand what every statements does and how 
various configurations could be generated for different netjson configs.
I initially started using `isc-dhcp-server` for turning the RPi into a dhcp 
server and faced lot of issues with that, but moving to 'dnsmasq` surely 
helped
and solved those issues.
hostapd also requires all the radio settings in order to create the final 
`hostapd.conf` configuration. For that had to get into various 802.11 
protocols 
and how these need to be setup on hostapd.conf
Completion of hostapd.conf would be a big step imo
Also I believe with some more work the Raspbian backend can be extended to 
a backend for all Debian based linux devices.
Only after testing can that be concluded. Would definetly love to work on 
extending the backend if possible even after the GSoC coding period ends.

Have a great weekend ahead !
