Problems in creating wifi hotspot in ubuntu 16.04 for android device
Solution 1:
To avoid the error "Your adapter does not support AP (master) mode" you should use another wi-fi card driver with AP mode support instead the default driver. How to do it ?
- Detect the model of your wireless card:
lspci -nn
You should find a string like this:
09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
- Find the card manufacturer in this list:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers
and select the item with "yes" in the "AP" column. For example, I've selected "b43" driver for my BCM4312 LP-PHY card:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43
Find your card in this list by Device ID ([14e4:4315] e.g.)
If you see "yes" in the "Supported?" column, you can use this driver for your wi-fi card. Otherwise, you should look for another driver. If the suitable driver is absent, you cannot create wifi hotspot in Linux. :-(
The driver install method depends of your card model. If you'll say me the model, I'll try to help you.
