Not working with latest version of Stretch #3

Excellent solution, though it is having trouble with the latest version of Stretch on Raspberry Pi3. My version: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.9.80-v7+ #1098 SMP Fri Mar 9 19:11:42 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Manually walking the steps I have only been able to get this to work twice before a reboot. After reboot I am getting:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo journalctl -xe -- Subject: Unit dnsmasq.service has begun start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: https://www.debian.org/support -- -- Unit dnsmasq.service has begun starting up. Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi dnsmasq[2197]: dnsmasq: syntax check OK. Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi dnsmasq[2200]: dnsmasq: unknown interface uap0 Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi dnsmasq[2200]: unknown interface uap0 Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi dnsmasq[2200]: FAILED to start up Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=2 Mar 18 15:25:16 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server. -- Subject: Unit dnsmasq.service has failed -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: https://www.debian.org/support -- -- Unit dnsmasq.service has failed.

From what I am finding out, rc.local has issues and should avoid using that. As well as ifup/ifdown.

Any suggestions? Thanks a mil!

I just installed the latest version of raspbian stretch lite and got it working without any problems. My raspberry pi 3 version seems to be the same:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.9.80-v7+ #1098 SMP Fri Mar 9 19:11:42 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

@damonkh Perhaps you can backup your sd card and try with a fresh clean raspbian install for minimal error sources.

I think it is a fantastic tutorial so thank you very much for your great work @peebles .

Edit: Yesterday i wrote in this post that wlan0 did not work after reboot. That was because i made a stupid mistake an wrote the additional command in the rc.local file after exit 0. No surprise the commands were not executed. :D Now everything works perfect on my raspberrypi.
