The issue you’re facing with the uap0 interface being marked as “unmanaged” in nmcli is preventing you from setting up a Wi-Fi access point on your Verdin iMX8MP device. To resolve this, you need to ensure that NetworkManager is configured to manage the uap0 interface. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Check NetworkManager Configuration:

    • Open the NetworkManager configuration file, typically located at /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
    • Ensure that the uap0 interface is not listed under the unmanaged-devices section. If it is, remove it from that list.

  2. Restart NetworkManager:

    • After making changes to the configuration file, restart the NetworkManager service to apply the changes:
      sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

  3. Verify Interface Management:

    • Run nmcli device again to check if the uap0 interface is now managed.

  4. Recreate the Wi-Fi Connection:

    • If the interface is now managed, try recreating the Wi-Fi connection:
      nmcli con add type wifi ifname uap0 mode ap con-name torizon ssid torizon

  5. Activate the Connection:

    • Attempt to bring up the connection again:
      nmcli con up torizon

By ensuring that the uap0 interface is managed by NetworkManager, you should be able to set up the access point successfully. If the issue persists, double-check the configuration and ensure there are no other settings or scripts that might be overriding the management of the uap0 interface.
