Automated script to convert RTL8188 CUS based wifi adapter into wifi hotspot

This script aims to automate all the steps for creating a hotspot on RPi using an RTL8188 CUS / EU based wifi adapter.

Steps :

1. git clone https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/rpi-rtl8188cus-hotspot.git
2. cd rpi-rtl8188cus
3. Edit ssid and wpa_passphrase by editing nano hostapd.conf and edit corresponding lines.
4. sudo ./install_dep.sh
5. Now that everything is in place, run sudo ./start_hotspot.sh
6. To make it permanent, add it to /etc/rc.local

Make sure you comment out entries containing wireless interface you intend to use in /etc/network/interfaces
