black screen in Access Point page

[hollisticated-horse]

Heya, I've been trying to use impala to set up a hotspot on my machine. I keep getting a weird bug, where impala goes black when I'm on the Access Point page. When I press Ctrl+r, it indicates that the Access Point is the current page, but the current page is completely black.

As a side note, I haven't been able to create an Access Point either to date... After the black screen event, the Access Point is back to false.

To see if your adapter supports ap mode, try those commands:

1. Get the adapter name

sudo iwctl adapter list

2. Get infos about your adapter

sudo iwctl adapter <Adapter name> show

the adapter name is usually phy0

What does the command 2 shows for you ?

To be fair, I've also been having issue with the linux-wifi-hotspot app when creating a working AP. But the black screen is confusing. Initially, I had even abandoned impala because of that bug.

I will look at it. I have just tried with my machine and it seems to be working. I will add some logs so it will be easy to spot where stuff breaks.
