/etc/network/interfaces.hostapd missing by default

Hello, I'm trying to setup a hotspot on a tinkerboard S running bullseye.  

Following the procedure from

 

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/

 

at the point where it requires:

 

2. Copy /etc/network/interfaces.hostapd to /etc/network/interfaces

 

i realize the file interfaces.hostapd is missing, even though hostapd is installed

 

hostapd is already the newest version (3:2.10-6~armbian22.02.3+1)

 

I manually created the file with the following content even though I'm not sure if that's correct (as referred in one post on the forum):

 

auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0

 

/etc/network/interfaces.hostapd remains in there without issues, but at the moment of copying its info to /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting, the SBC won't let me log in through ssh.  In order to do so i have to comment the added lines to gain back access.

Any pointers on how can i finish the process to create the hotspot?

Thanks.
