[wlan0 - SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable]

Problem solved by installation of firmware-ralink package (dmesg helped to solve the issue)!

[wlan0 - SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable]

Hi and Happy new year!

I'm not so fluent in English, so please excuse me. 

 

I have Lamobo R-1 with HW mod (RT5572) and the main problem is that hostapd is giving error message at start:
