Hostapd creation bash script for Linux pi

This script can do several things:

• Setup and start a hostapd based AP from the command line
• Save and recall previous hostapd AP configs created by the script
• Use default variables for the configuration if some are omitted
• Copy the config file to /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf so the hostapd service can use it on startup

The script has been tested on the Raspberry pi  and should work with other Debian based distros.

Apart from requiring hostapd and echo, a suitable dhcp server should be installed on the system for the interface.
Also it is mandatory that the WLAN adaptor can support AP mode, otherwise the script will not work.
