Creating access point - Raspberry Pi Zero W

Product support
1

Hi, I’m looking to recreate the creation of an access point on the Zero W. I have USB > ethernet working fine and am trying to use Network Manager to manage the AP.

I have placed a file called resin-hotspot inside /boot/system-connections and my bash script runs export DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/host/run/dbus/system_bus_socket before I try to activate the connection.

If I run ifconfig wlan1 down I get an error - wlan1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device (I specified the interface name to be interface-name=wlan1 in the config file).

Running the script results in - python ./activate_connection.py resin-hotspot

KeyError: 'resin-hotspot'

My config on the SD card is:

[connection]
id=resin-hotspot
