As the message says virtual interfaces are not possible for your hardware, and without virtual interfaces you can't share from same interface you're using.

Ok so is there a fix to make it connect to the internet

sigmaSd commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately I don't think so, your linux wifi driver doesn't seem to support this.

Maybe the one thing you can test is removing the check and test it but like the message says this can cause a kernel panic.
