Todo: Was the raspberrypi-libs package renamed... or is it even still required?

Install the necessary firmware

apk add linux-firmware-brcm raspberrypi-libs

Install hostapd and dnsmasq

apk add hostapd dnsmasq

Configure /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=Pi3-AP
hw_mode=g
channel=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_passphrase=raspberry
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

Configure your /etc/dnsmasq.conf

interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.5,255.255.255.0,12h

Configure Static ips for wlan0 in the file /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
  address 10.0.0.1
  netmask 255.255.255.0

Start the services

service dnsmasq start
service hostapd start

Enable the Services permanently on every bootup

rc-update add dnsmasq     
rc-update add hostapd

(to del)

rc-update del dnsmasq     
rc-update del hostapd

(or)

rc-update add dnsmasq boot    
rc-update add hostapd boot
