Spent a week creating hotspots in windows 10 from node.js, using ICS, but to no avail, hope someone can help me!

Thanks

At first this library has been implemented for automated tests for a hotspot product. A company was founded for 3 years on this product. So I know pretty well wifi hotspots. Hotspot features in windows are badly maintained. For example the implementation changed a lot between Windows 8 and 10. It caused the end of the company who created this library at first.

Besides this feature is not easy on other platforms like Linux and macOS. The main goal of node-wifi is to work on all platforms. So I won't implement or maintain any hotspot feature myself even if I know it a lot. Feel free to do it yourself using a PR, your own fork or another library.
