This isn't an M1 issue, but rather a Mac-to-Mac issue that I mention in the readme: Flying Carpet no longer works between two Macs if the receiving end is running Big Sur because Apple deprecated the necessary ad hoc WiFi functions. Use AirDrop instead. Mac-to-Windows and Mac-to-Linux still work as the Linux or Windows side will always host the network. Link to Apple docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corewlan/cwinterface/1426417-startibssmode. Sorry about that!
