I'm on an Acer with qualcomm controller, I'm connecting to a 2.4 Ghz i tried doing things shown here but no success either https://github.com/oblique/create_ap/issues/132


Config options written to '/etc/create_ap.conf'

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
Command not found or exited with error status```

It could be probably due to hostapd service is already running. I solved it by stopping its service by:

sudo systemctl stop hostapd
