Hi.
That error message is terribly generic, how about a little more
information on what hostapd says before that and your hostapd config?
A dump of the wlan card information would be useful too, typically via
the iw package "iw phy0 info" since it's possible you're trying to do
master mode on a device that doesn't support it.
