When clicking on "Create Hotspot" I get this error message:

pkexec --user root create_ap wlan0 wlan0 'Test Wlan' '' --mkconfig /etc/create_ap.conf --freq-band 2.4 
Config options written to '/etc/create_ap.conf'
WARN: Your adapter does not fully support AP virtual interface, enabling --no-virt
ERROR: You can not share your connection from the same interface if you are using --no-virt option.

Hi, I think this issue is found whereby you are using 1 wireless adapter which does not support virtual interface to create an AP. In order to create an AP, I think that one must have either 1 wireless adapter having virutal interface functionality or 2 wireless adapter working seperately

I want to buy an adapter that works perfectly for linux-wifi-hotspot
But how can I know whether an adapter fully supports AP virtual interface or not
I have no idea

To be honest, I also don't know which adapter supports VAF. But I think that there is a github post stating which wireless adapter supports the wireless adapter, I used to have it but then I lost the link so sorry for that
