# finding the Wifi Adaptor
wifiadaptor=$(ifconfig | awk '/^wl/ {print $1}')

echo "sudo create_ap $wifiadaptor $wifiadaptor $apname $appassword"

Hi @lareya, this guide is a bit old(almost 3 years old) and maybe it has flaws.

Maybe the wifiadaptor variable is not correct for your hardware. You can check out the ifconfig command's output to see Wireless Ethernet Card's device name.

Back in that time, this was starting with the wl for me.

Please check out the original oblique/create_ap repository for further information.
