Description

The WiFi access point is created on the NUC using create_ap which was imported from oblique/create_ap. This project has been archived since Sept. 2021 and is no longer maintained. Consider using NetworkManager, e.g.

nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp4s0 ssid test password "test1234"

or one of the forks of the create_ap project:

Research direction

The issue names the NUC's create_ap script and an nmcli hotspot command, but no repository file or test. Start by locating where the NUC invokes create_ap, compare the proposed NetworkManager or fork-based approaches, and verify that the access point still starts with the expected interface, SSID, and password.
