Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm) released

[Tim Curtis]

Turns out to be easy to assign the static network 172.24.1.1/24 to the AP. Just add another line to the [ipv4] section

Code:

[ipv4]
address1=172.24.1.1/24
method=shared

Now the AP comes up as 172.24.1.1 and, for example, my phone connected as 172.24.1.238.

There's so much to nmcli and some newer features---such as hotspot---have options that aren't documented as well as I'd hoped.

Cool.
