Hostapd - cheap USB WiFi key ? Topic is solved

[petrus]

Hey!

I'm planning to try DietPi with an old RPi v1, and use it to host a wifi AP using hostapd.
Everywhere I see people having troubles with AP and usb keys...

So I dream of a cheap key, if possible don't want to compile by hand a driver downloaded on a 404 link...

There are so many keys, but nothing really useful about hostapd compatibility.
I've found those 2 chipsets, but don't know if it's 100% ok ??
Chipset RT5370

Chipset RTL8188CUS

If someone already have this chipset working with hostapd, thx for light
Or another cool and cheap chipset ?

Many thx

@petrus I had RTL8188CUS-based, of different design with larger antenna - worked fine with dietpi, including access-point. Couldn't make it work with OpenWRT, though.

Thx for your answer !
Now it's better to read someone make it working easily

Ok all, I can confirm cheap RT5370 is ok with DietPi, as a hotspot with hostapd.

Thx for your help!
