Alpine Linux wi-fi access point problem

Hello all!

According to "red-pitaya-notes" instructions I enabled wifi hotspot mode:

./wifi/hotspot.sh
lbu commit -d

After rebooting, the RedPitaya network was visible on PC and android, but I could not establish connection using defult password RedPitaya. Android device displays some authentication problem during connection attempt.

After wi-fi connection attempt redpitaya stops responding (putty console) over wired interface also, reboot is required. Rverting back to client mode works OK.

Any thoughts/help?

BR, kas

20191120 is a good version. I will check if I can connect from an Android device.

I checked again with a fresh install of v3.9 which was still in the downloads and in my case hotspot does not work with PC neither Android.

v3.12 hotspot works fine on both and I managed to setup my work from v3.9.
