Converting a Raspberry Pi into a wireless access point

So I have a Raspberry Pi B+ and an RTL8188CUS based wifi dongle. I mostly used these instructions, but hostapd was not working so I did as this post suggests. I downloaded the custom RealTek hostapd, compiled and run it. Don't forget to update /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. This is mine:

# Basic configuration
interface=wlan0
ssid=Mistborn
channel=1
#bridge=br0
# WPA and WPA2 configuration
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
#ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=wireless1
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
# Hardware configuration
driver=rtl871xdrv
ieee80211n=1
hw_mode=g
device_name=RTL8192CU
manufacturer=Realtek

That's about it.
