We are using Debian Buster (yes, I know it is old, but we do not have time to change and learn a whole new dev environment and it has worked very well for us.) Today, a started setting up a new BeagleBone Black Industrial with a wifi dongle to establish an AP. I have done this several times with BeagleBone Black and one othe BBI with out issue but today, I noticed this when I ran apt install hostapd.

I know Buster doesn’t have any upgrades going forward but is the repo being shutdown?
