It seems like hostapd is having trouble configuring interface for AP, it creates an AP with my given SSID but is unconnectable from other devices and on devices it results wrong password.
here is my hostapd configuration file :
interface=wlp3s0b1
bridge=br0
# SSID to be used in IEEE 802.11 management frames
ssid=ErfanXD
# Driver interface type (hostap/wired/none/nl80211/bsd)
driver=nl80211
# Country code (ISO/IEC 3166-1)
country_code=US
# Operation mode (a = IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz), b = IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz)
hw_mode=g
# Channel number
channel=7
# Maximum number of stations allowed
max_num_sta=5
# Bit field: bit0 = WPA, bit1 = WPA2
wpa=2
# Bit field: 1=wpa, 2=wep, 3=both
auth_algs=1
# Set of accepted cipher suites
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
# Set of accepted key management algorithms
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_passphrase=erfanxyz
# hostapd event logger configuration
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
# Uncomment and modify the following section if your device supports 802.11n
## Enable 802.11n support
#ieee80211n=1
## QoS support
#wmm_enabled=1
## Use "iw list" to show device capabilities and modify ht_capab accordingly
#ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-40][TX-STBC][RX-STBC1][DSSS_CCK-40]
until this point no hostapd service is started and you can get my journal in this link
now i start the hostapd and get the status below :
● hostapd.service - Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator

Can you please specify the commands that generated each of the journal outputs?
Why does your complete journal not contain the content from "journal for hostapd" which would presumably be from grepping the journal?

What is creating br0?

yes ofcourse, this is the command for journaling before starting the hostapd service :
sudo journalctl -b
and this is the journal command i used to get hostapd :
sudo journalctl -efu hostapd

Because i havn't enabled hostapd service and it doesnt start automatically, i could start it and get journal

i have no idea about this, but im using tor (enabled service) and a pptp vpn which i think these may have impact on br0 creation

actually, i have no br0 by default, i have configured hostapd to create br0

You need to create a network bridge and add your network interface (e.g. eth0) to it. You should not add the wireless device (e.g. wlan0) to the bridge; hostapd will add it on its own.
The wiki is incorrect?
