Hi i am trying to create a hotspot using Network Manager in my banana pi 

 

nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name Hostspot autoconnect yes ssid pducontroller
nmcli con modify Hostspot 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method shared
nmcli con modify Hostspot wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
nmcli con modify Hostspot wifi-sec.psk "verylongpassword"
nmcli con up Hostspot

 

 

But when I type   nmcli con up Hostspot  gives me an output 
 

Error: Connection activation failed.

Is it working when you use armbian-config way? network -> armbian-config?

Tested right now and it works as expected. Logs: http://ix.io/1Hc0

1. Debian Stretch CLI image https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2plus/Debian_stretch_next.7z

2. Creating user, running update (apt update and apt upgrade)

3. armbian-config -> network -> Hotspot

4. Connect with a mobile, no problem, running speedtest, speed as expected

5. Reboot

5. Connect with a mobile, no problem, running speedtest, speed as expected

With this image, it worked, thanks

I have one more doubt, how to change the IP of the hotspot by default its 172.24.1.1/24
i tried to change by nmtui->edit a connection->ifupdown (wlan0) but its can this connection is read-only

Our (working) solution is not managed by Network manager, so you can't use those tools. Those values are fixed since configuration is on the "proof of concept" level. It works, but I have no time to develop this on super easy management anytime soon. Tools used: hostapd, dnsmasq, ifupdown, iptables. Check their config files to adjust those values manually. I am afraid, no other way. Help with extending AP functionality within armbian-config is more then welcome.
