Fresh install of 19.04, running alongside an installation of Windows 10 (different drives). I have an ethernet cable coming into my onboard port, which I use for my main connection. I also have the ANEWKODI wireless adapter plugged in. This device does not natively support Linux, so the drivers I am using are installed following this guide.



After installing a new driver, iw list lists my device, but I am no longer able to view available networks



enter image description here



My goal is to - using the ethernet as a source, create a hotspot using the wifi dongle.



Running lshw -c network yields this.



iw list returns this



Trying to start the hostapd service also shoots an error:



Sep 20 19:40:56 david systemd[1]: Failed to start Advanced IEEE 802.11 AP and IE
-- Subject: A start job for unit hostapd.service has failed
-- Defined-By: systemd


What I've tried so far:



I've followed the steps listed here, which recommended manually starting the network-manager process, here, which said to disable fast boot from Windows, and here, which was a reinstall of network-manager, none of which worked.

  • What's the output of iw list? Windows 10 working is not a methodology of assuming your hardware supports being a hotspot, unfortunately.
