I am using Dsl Broadband Connection and i just want to create a wifi hotspot using the create_ap script ... I have tried hostapd but it only creates the hotspot without sharing my Internet .
Anyway what i did is
[lenovo@arch ~]$ sudo rfkill unblock wifi
[sudo] password for lenovo:
[lenovo@arch ~]$ sudo create_ap enp1s0 wlp2s0 myfreenet
Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.enp1s0.conf.Bu3LQU6G
dnsmasq: failed to bind DHCP server socket: Address already in use
hostapd command-line interface: hostapd_cli -p /tmp/create_ap.enp1s0.conf.Bu3LQU6G/hostapd_ctrl
Configuration file: /tmp/create_ap.enp1s0.conf.Bu3LQU6G/hostapd.conf
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
Hostapd failed to run, maybe a program is interfering.
If you use NetworkManager then add the following in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and retry.
Don't forget to remove it after you finish.
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:20:89:84:9e:17:50
cat: /tmp/create_ap.enp1s0.conf.Bu3LQU6G/*.pid: No such file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
[lenovo@arch ~]$
then i have added the keyfile line to network manager config and restart the network manager and tried to run that script agani but no luck .. And also there is an option to create a hotspot using network manager gui but that also did not work .. My wifi chipset supports AP Mode
I have googled and found out that my network manager is using the dhcp so the `dnsmasq: failed to bind DHCP server socket: Address already in use` message is showing .. i don't know what to do next ..
Can any one point me where i am doing wrong ...
