Not sure if correct, but it might be needed to compile driver yourself. Found a couple of post

Probably. But since you posted hostapd logs: Does the adapter work when connecting to another AP instead of using it as AP? Not all adapters/their Linux drivers support AP mode.
E.g. the similar aged RTL8188 chips have known issues with it.
