Try using the rtl8192eu driver on Toradex IM8XMP as an access point

Question

I'm trying to use the RTL8192eu driver as an access point on Toradex IMX8MP.

The problem is that I have to go through systemctl start hostapd to see the access point in the available networks:

torizon@chronos-4972825b:~$ systemctl status hostapd

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/hostapd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

However, when I'm connect to the wifi I don't have internet.

If you have an idea, I thank you in advance for your reply.

Also, when I connect to the access point, the card reboots itself.

I expect to be able to connect to the Internet.
