Retain Hotspot and Zeroconf Name During & After Connecting to SSID

[davesteele]

If the upstream AP is unavailable, Comitup reverts to hotspot mode.

1. Yes. This requires a second WiFi adapter.
2. The Zeroconf name is retained on all interfaces across modes.
3. This is the default behavior. You can delete the AP configuration using comitup-cli, or by just removing the config from NetworkManager.

There should be no special startup required after apt-get install (except to insure that the wifi interface(s) are not claimed in /etc/network/interfaces).

Package install is covered on the home page, and in the wiki.

@theronic do you mean that for example if the google DNS at 8.8.8.8 is not pingable but a connections is established comitup should switch back to hotspot mode?
