I upgraded to Fedora 32 last night. I can create a hotspot like I did with Fedora 31 but connecting to it fails. I use: nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp3s0 ssid <name> password <password> Is there something else I need to do with Fedora 32? -- Dennis Payne dulsi@identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi

Can you connect using the graphical Network Manager GUI tool as a check? John

I never got around to doing a new test and capturing that info. I did find that turning off firewalld allowed it to work. -- Dennis Payne dulsi@identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi
John, It's possible that Fedora's move to iptables-nft broke the hotspot functionality. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/iptables-nft-default Here are the commands I ran to open up the firewall on my laptop: # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-masquerade # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=dhcp # firewall-cmd --reload And to confirm that the changes went through: # firewall-cmd --list-all FedoraWorkstation (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: enp0s31f6 wlp3s0 sources: services: dhcp dhcpv6-client samba-client ssh ports: 1025-65535/udp 1025-65535/tcp protocols: masquerade: yes forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: This allows my phone to connect to my laptop and browse the internet normally without having to disable the firewall entirely. I hope that helps! Josh On Tue, 2020-05-19 at 05:09 -0400, Dennis Payne via WLUG wrote:
