      I was trying to configure AP mode in Raspberrypi by using Network Manager. I'm using the below script. but it is throwing some errors.

      Bash Script to set AP Mode

      host="MyRPiAPMode"
      sudo nmcli con add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name $host autoconnect yes ssid $host
      sudo nmcli con modify $host 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method shared
      sudo nmcli con modify $host wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
      sudo nmcli con modify $host wifi-sec.psk "SomeRandomPassword"
      sudo nmcli radio wifi on
      sudo nmcli con up $host
      

      Error ----

      Connection 'MyRPiAPMode' (60965f2a-f510-48ef-afaf-0864242d0c06) successfully added.
      Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device eth0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (mismatching interface name)).
      

      nmcli con (After script execution)

        Hi @rafitc99, Are you able to set up the AP when trying the commands individually?
