Re: Regarding Hotspot configuration

[Himanshu Shekhar <irm2015006@iiita.ac.in>]

It supports AP mode, as I have used the stuff when I worked on Windows with Connectify.

Possibly, this is a driver issue, as "wl" driver may not be supporting AP mode.

However, I tried to download drivers from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11 for this device, "43142", but received errors in installing them but received errors. I use kernel version 4.1.0.0.

Is there any problem with the kernel version?

I'm not sure about that, I just told n-m to create a new network,

Can you check in iwconfig to confirm it's actually an AP?

iwconfig does say master mode.

What card is it?
With my Intel 7260 (which works as an AP if I use hostapd directly),
n-m only wants to create an ad-hoc network.
Does it present you with the option to create an AP mode network?
