This is not normal. This is intended to connect wifi and make a hotspot same time. There might be an issue with the network manager itself.

Does this happen every time you start the hotspot?

after make some tests i found the tool automatic make this line at " /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf "

[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlx00c0ca847ab3

if i removed this line, The Network & Hotspot work at same time fine

but when i reboot the tool. it's automatic create this line again which lead wifi not show again

is there way to make the tool not make this line?

It was added in https://github.com/oblique/create_ap/commit/fb266ab79829fdbc896874a7e10734fb21c667f5. But there was no commit message to explain this and it's in the initial commit.

I think this issue can be closed because the create_ap script in this repo does not create that entry (it does not pass --fix-unmanaged)
