Managed to change the IP to any IP you want to setup and use.

I had (and still partly have) the same questions. I know where to find the 
answers, but didn't dare 
to use them. 
--First "nmcli -p connection show --active" will show all your connections. Or 
me the access 
point has name (not id) "Hotspot" (I don't know if the name depends on the 
device and driver).
--Then "nmcli -p connection show --active Hotspot" gives all the details, 
including 802-11-
wireless.ssid (the hostname), 802-11-wireless.mode ap (access-point I 
guess),IP4.ADRESSE[1] 
(ip = 10.42.0.1/24, gw = 0.0.0.0), IP6.ADRESSE[1] (ip = 
fe80::7e5c:f8ff:fe8e:9473/64, gw = ::) 
and many other infos. 
--What I didn't dare to do was to try "nmcli connection edit (or modify) 
Hotspot". 
--What I did was to modify my DNS setup. In my master zone I added 10.42.0.1 as 
ip-address 
for my server (which now has 3 addresses, one for the outside, from my ISP, one 
not routable for 
my local network 192.168.xxx.1, and 10.42.0.1, not routable also). In the zone 
file I added also 
fixed addresses 10.42.0.xxx for some devices (e.g. a printer which has two 
addresses 
192.168.10.6 and 10.42.0.6; this allows wifi clients to use this printer. I  
also added a reverse 
zone 10.42.0.zone.
I can't remember how I managed to exclude the fixed addresses from dhcpd range 
to avoid 
conflicts but it works. Hope this will help.
Sorry for my English.

Sorry, then, I can't help there. I've never used NetworkManager in that
way. Maybe someone else here will know more.

Thanks. I can understand that the doc is about setting up a separate DHCP
server. However, I want to use network manager's functionality to create a
hotspot and also be able to control the dhcp range of this hotspot.
This is where I got stuck with the 10.42.0.1

Hi all,

 I am at a loss to find out how to change 10.42.0.1/24 
 and 10.42.0.x/24 as ip and dhcp range which is 
used by network manager when configuring a wireless card as an AP. I 
dont see the setting anywhere and cant find a valid doc in the 
internet too

Is this value had-coded in the source-code of NetworkManager ?

Has anyone got an experience of making Network manager work aas a DHCP 
server with custom DHCP range ? please if you can share your experiences


The Debian Administrator's Handbook has the information for setting up a 
DHCP server in it.  Check out the following link:


https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.dhcp.html

That ought to get you started, at least.

thanks
