Cannot recieve in 5GHz band and broadcast in 2.4GHz band at the same time

[DJLevel3]

EDIT: I found the error message, it's "Failed to run hostapd, maybe a program is interfering."

Describe the bug I'm trying to create a wifi hotspot so my 2.4GHz-only laptop can connect to the 5GHz internet at my school through my dual-band laptop. However, when I start the hotspot on the host computer, it throws an error with no message as far as I can tell. I cannot create a 5GHz band hotspot, since my wifi card (Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter according to lspci) doesn't appear to support broadcasting that high.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch wihotspot through the terminal
2. Connect to a 5GHz Managed network that does not allow 2.4GHz
3. Start the hotspot with 2.4GHz band
4. Check the terminal you launched it in to see the error message

Expected behavior The hotspot is expected to create successfully and have no errors.

Screenshots Here are the and of creating the hotspot. My network is on band 52, at 5.26 GHz.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu Budgie
• Version 20.10

Hmm, it appears that it's trying to make a 2.4 MHz band instead of 2.4 GHz. Strange.
