They depend on the address that you set, see examples at: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/dnsmasq/tests/test-dnsmasq-utils.c?id=eb8257dea5802a004af9cccacb30af98440e2172#n122 (older versions behaved slightly different: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=d512ed9f1f1353166ae2110e2e6ffeb3d5f624d7 ) > > > 2 - get WPA/PSK to work on the hotspot (it would configure bit > > > not > > > allow > > > connections) > > > > Not sure what you are doing.

That (usually) will not work. Set it to "ignore" or "shared". An alternative might be to create the profile with `nmcli device wifi hotspot` or the hotspot button in gnome-shell (and adjust it from there). best, Thomas
