AP in new Armbian Bookwork release workaround

Creating an Access Point with the help of armbian-config doesn’t work as it did not work in previous releases. It stocks because of an hostapd issue.

I created the Access Point with a script like this: Make changings where needed.

#!/bin/bash

nmcli con delete TEST-AP

nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 mode ap con-name TEST-AP ssid TEST autoconnect false

nmcli con modify TEST-AP 802-11-wireless.band bg

nmcli con modify TEST-AP 802-11-wireless.channel 3

#nmcli con modify TEST-AP 802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address 00:12:34:56:78:9a

nmcli con modify TEST-AP ipv4.method shared ipv4.address 192.168.4.1/24

nmcli con modify TEST-AP ipv6.method disabled

nmcli con modify TEST-AP wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk

nmcli con modify TEST-AP wifi-sec.psk “mypassword”

nmcli con up TEST-AP
