ardiishere commented 3 years ago

In GUI format, I can't choose wifi interface. Then when I clicked Create hotspot, it showed "Check inputs" Wi Hotspot

I tried using cli, it showed

sudo create_ap wlxd46e0e09ecde enp3s0 MyAccessPoint WARN: Your adapter does not fully support AP virtual interface, enabling --no-virt Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlxd46e0e09ecde.conf.1WBWGe3x PID: 12495 Network Manager found, set wlxd46e0e09ecde as unmanaged device...

Error: Failed to run hostapd, maybe a program is interfering. If an error like 'n80211: Could not configure driver mode' was thrown try running the following before starting create_ap: nmcli r wifi off rfkill unblock wlan

Doing cleanup.. done
