motionEyeOS Version

I am running motionEyeOS version: dev20201026

Board Model

I am using the following board/model: Raspberry PI 3B+

Camera

I am using the following type of camera: Simple MJPEG Camera.

My camera model is: Raspberry Pi Camera Rev 1.3

Network Connection

My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: WiFi

I am trying to do a headless install to generate its own WiFi Access Point (no wired or other WiFi connections). I've copied the hostapd.conf and dnsmasq.conf verbatim from https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos/wiki/WiFi-Access-Point and changed "wlan0" to "ap0" per the instructions. It ends up in an infinite boot loop complaining that there is no wired or wireless connection. I tried creating a wpa_supplicant.conf file to connect to its own ssid using the ssid and passphrase from hostapd.conf, but I get "failed (brcmfmac)."

What are the correct steps to install MotionEyeOS in headless mode, to create its own Access Point? I will ultimately have a tablet connect to its generated WiFi network and view the fast network cam in a web browser.
