Add experiences with hostapd
Source Link

Update: Interestingly enough, using hostapd seems like it might work. I haven't finished manually configuring DHCP, DNS and forwarding; but the WiFi hotspot is running on the Pi with the built-in interface, and I can connect to it using another device.

  2. Create wireless access point and share internet connection with nmcli · unix.stackexchange.com
    • Five commenters mentioning that the nmcli command does not work for them, but for the majority it seems to work
  3. Raspberry Pi Hotspot/Access Point not working, no connection whatsoever · raspberrypi.stackexchange.com
    • Problem there seems to be at a later stage (devices seem to be able to connect to the Pi, they just can't get internet)

Add unsuccessful dmesg results

sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager -f does not log anything at all when I try to connect to the WiFi, but that seems to be standard. sudo dmesg -w on the Rasppberry Pi also does not output anything when trying to connect from another device, but that also seems standard.

Add Bookworm tag (nmcli is specific to Bookworm)
