As it is a Debian box the following two should work:

/etc/network/interfaces:
```
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
	address 172.16.1.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
```

/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
```
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

# The SSID
ssid=Subsurface
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
macaddr_acl=0

# The channel we sit on
channel=1
```

Of course, this requires installation of hostapd and that that thing
supports the wifi chip attached to your RPi...

Greets,

   will also add to the wiki in a bit how we can build images and
   deploy code to the C.H.I.P. devices easily)
