Hi - is there anywhere a working guide to create a Wifi Access Point with this board ?

 

I have tried the official debian ISO from orange pi and doing so with create_ap is very easy.

 

I'd like to use armbian instead but using the "Minimal / IOT image with Armbian Linux v6.6" (bookworm) all I get is hell:

  • I installed network-manager and armbian-config then used the later to try the hotspot configuration but then (several freezes and reboots after) it complains that "Unit hostapd.service is masked" and when I solve that, then dnsmasq fails and I see no helpful error message.
  • I even tried connecting to a wifi network first before trying hotspot as I saw somewhere for an older board version that this could help but it does not help and also the system becomes way unstable while connected to wifi.

 

I also tried using armbian-config to go back to a stable version but then the system freezes and and I can not ssh in.

 

HELP!?

 

P.S. All my connections to the box are being done through ssh & ethernet.
