start hotspot without internet connection

[tsbalpha]

first of all, what an amazing addon you saved ma ass big time :). then the issue as stated in the title is that the hotspot does not start up without a internet connection (so eth0 connected). i'd like the hotspot to startup without internet since i only really need it to connect to one other microcontroller and i don't have internet where ill be using it most of the time.

Interesting... thanks for the report. Can you share your config please?

@ex-ml Same here. The AP only starts, if there is an Internet connection on the configured interface in home assistant.

BUT only, if "access Internet" is enabled in the AP configuration. Hope this helps you and us 👍

I have the same problem, i noticed that if no internet is available at boot the log ends with his: Warning: nmcli (1.46.2) and NetworkManager (1.44.2) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. Warning: nmcli (1.46.2) and NetworkManager (1.44.2) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. s6-rc: info: service legacy-services: stopping s6-rc: info: service legacy-services successfully stopped s6-rc: info: service legacy-cont-init: stopping s6-rc: info: service legacy-cont-init successfully stopped s6-rc: info: service fix-attrs: stopping s6-rc: info: service fix-attrs successfully stopped s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner: stopping s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner successfully stopped

And if there is a internet connection at boot up, the log looks like this: Warning: nmcli (1.46.2) and NetworkManager (1.44.2) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. Warning: nmcli (1.46.2) and NetworkManager (1.44.2) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. Add DNS: dhcp-option=6,192.168.2.1
