Me again!

So, having fixed my previous issue of not being able to connect to my WLAN, I now have been trying to get a remote connection to the ABS via the VAP.
Here's what I did:

Backup the wpa_supplicant file
Remove my WLAN details from the wpa_supplicant file, to mimic having no WLAN available
Restart the Pi

The device restarts and eventually (it seems to take some time!) the astroberry SSID is visible, but I cannot get a connection to it at all - I just get "Activation of Network Connection Failed" on my Ubuntu 18.04 client.
ifconfig shows

The pi is a model 3b, so uses the hostapd_3b.conf file, but just to be sure, I updated the 3bplus file with the Channel and Mode changes...

So, now I'm stuck again!

i don't think I've changed anything else in my previous WLAN issue, but if anyone has any insights, I'd be grateful!
