Can you describe your OS and version?

Same issue here, though I think they are just not understanding what happened. I run Linux Mint 20.3 (Included sys report at the bottom for more details).

It appears that the program creates a Virtual Network Port, in my case 'ap1' then hangs. After the creation of this VNP, the 'Wi-fi' option in network settings is gone. If you restart the app, or hit the create hotspot again, it will create more VNPs. That's as good as I am at troubleshooting Linux atm.

For anyone else that needs a fix without a reset,

sudo iw dev del

replace '' with the name of the created port. For example sudo iw dev EXAMPLE del

After they are all gone you will see Wi-Fi return.

the issue might be related to #249. try deleting the NetworkManager.conf file (sudo rm /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf) and rebooting

EDIT: i found out that the create_ap script seems to have an option for fixing this as well. try running sudo create_ap --fix-unmanaged
