I’m using Ubuntu 20.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4, and I’m experiencing issues with the ‘create_ap’ command.
create_ap -g <ip> --no-virt wlan0 wwan0 name pass
sud
sudo create_ap -g 100.104.158.255 --no-virt wlan0 wwan0 trudi 12345678

wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr d8:3a:dd:65:bb:2f and ssid "trudi"
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
I’ve always used this command, but for two days now, it creates the hotspot, but when I try to connect with another device, it suddenly disappears without giving me any specific error in the log, and it gives me this error:
wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver
I don’t know how to solve this issue. Has anyone experienced the same problem?
I have tried various alternatives without specifying the IP or using -w 2, but nothing works. I have also tried rebooting the system and updating all packages, but I don’t know what else to do.
