Got a RTL8188CUS is it suported nowadays? or should I get a specific other one?
Do I need to have internet/ethernet/lan connection active during the hotspot creation via armbian_config?
After I execute the armbian config method, there are a few screens as in the video, probing various methods, and then the system without reporting any error returns to its menu selection but do not show the "Manage..access point".
After that what do I need to do have the WiFi hotspot up?
How can I give it the required parameters eg ip, passphrase key for users to connect, SSID etc, is there any guide for it ?
PS.
Also tried with a OPiPCPlus that has onboard wlan and armbian config result is the same, did not give the "Manage .. access point" menu after run. It also not support WiFi access point creation?

Hi,
Got Debian (8) legacy 3.4.113 server/console and would like to setup a WiFi hotspot. (latest Armbian build 5.51)
Seen two methods in Armbian docs
1. -> https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Advanced-Features/#how-to-set-wireless-access-point
and via armbian_config in https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/
2. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__BJtInOQFY
So I'm a bit buffled about it.
Got some questions
