Greetings,

I have tried opnsense, alpine linux, and openwrt in an attempt to repurpose this computer as an access point since the ssd in it has died. The nuc has only one ethernet connection so I think I would need to get the Atheros wifi working from the command line and that appears to be complicated / a use case that devs have not prioritized?

Are there any similar softwares that would activate the wifi to some default configuration so I could get into the web based configuration utility using a phone or another computer?

I have ethernet to my living space but no WiFi. Most devices do not have ethernet and hereby I feel I have explained my motivation to make this work.

With respect and gratitude.
