Hello!
Please help me to understand the source of this issue.

I compiled on Raspberry from the master branch:

root@raspberrypi:/home/finger/rtl8188eu/hostapd-2.9/hostapd# ./hostapd -v
hostapd v2.9 for Realtek rtl871xdrv
User space daemon for IEEE 802.11 AP management,
IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator
Copyright (c) 2002-2019, Jouni Malinen <[email protected]> and contributors

But when I try to run issue happens:

root@raspberrypi:/home/finger/rtl8188eu/hostapd-2.9/hostapd# ./hostapd ./rtl.conf -ddd
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: ./rtl.conf
Line 2: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl871xdrv'
1 errors found in configuration file './rtl.conf'
Failed to set up interface with ./rtl.conf
