Hi,

I would like to install an AP on my linux with Create_ap, but I have this error after the command : sudo create_ap wlan0 eth0 myssid mypassword

icnexus@X3399:~$ sudo create_ap wlan0 eth0 imyssid mypassword Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlan0.conf.oxRrPQn9 PID: 5884 Network Manager found, set ap0 as unmanaged device...
