I am using following set of vyos commands
#delete interfaces wireless
#commit
#set system wifi-regulatory-domain US
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 physical-device phy0
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 hw-id xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
#commit
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 type access-point
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 mode a
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 channel 0
#set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid testSSID0
#commit
do not start hostapd, so I restart in manually
#sudo /opt/vyatta/sbin/hostapd-init restart wlan0
it did not start testSSID0.
to debug the issue, I even tried to running the hostapd manually using
#sudo hostapd /var/run/wlan0.cfg
but I get error as
