Description
-----------
I want to create an Access Point using Orange-Pi Zero 2 with bridge mode. I've followed various ways and still failed. The last method I used was on the website : https://tjth.co/setting-up-ubunt ... eless-access-point/ . The steps that I understand to set up an Access Point on a Single Board Computer are,

1. Setting the hostapd file for SSID and Password identification.
2. Turn on hostapd to the configuration daemon.
3. Bridge the interface on the SBC.
4. Reboot and the system can run as an Access Point.

Problem
-------
Based on the explanation above, I understand very well how to convert SBC into an Access Point and I have applied it to the Raspberry-Pi. But when I applied it to the Orange-Pi, it didn't work. This makes me a little frustrated. I've been looking for a way to convert to an Access Point for almost 1 month.

The main problem , the SSID that has been defined does not appear. When checking, the bridge has been formed with the appropriate IP settings (it can be static and dhcp). However, the SSID still cannot be read on other devices. Hostapd status is running after doing `sudo systemctl hostapd status`

Question
--------
1. What bugs happened?
1. How to resolve this problem?
