ap-hotspot hostapd downgraded repo not available

Question

I have followed the various posts regarding hotspot on 14.04 all follow the same steps as this one

Which suggests that there is a bug in hostapd and it should be rolled back

however the repo of the working older version hosted here

Is no longer available. Anyone know how to get fixed version of hostapd?

The link you gave shows to use the old version, current version is 2.2, here is 2.1

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wpa/hostapd_2.1-0ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb

I have no idea which version I started with but I was having the reported issue with ap-hotspot so removed hostapd and tried to install from link above and it is not available. Reinstalled from repo and issue is same - ap-hotspot fails to start up properly
