5ghz wifi access point

Hi All,
Has anybody managed to get the up board working as a wifi hotspot with hostapd? I have been trying with an Edimax EW-7811UTC. After installing the drivers it works fine as a client but failing with create_ap (https://github.com/oblique/create_ap, fantastic script used successfully many times on other systems). Its definitely a lower level driver issue and a real rabbit hole. Im using ubilinux, not ubuntu.
I would just be interested to hear if anybody managed to get a hotspot going (I would need 5ghz for various reasons) and post here what dongle was used so I at least have a verified configuration I can buy/test.
Many thanks
Dirk

I have an UP running as wifi access point. If it helps, this is my hostapd.conf. Haven't used create_ap, though.

Thanks. I bit the bullet, switched to ubuntu, and it all worked out of the box with create_ap.
