Using the netbook als WiFi(Wlan)-repeater - password not accepted
by camper-ge from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FGEQ)
I just tried my first post - but cannot see it. Trying again.
I found and joined this forum to seek help to a problem, I do not get solved by myself.
I would like to use my notebook as a Wlan-repeater using an USB-Wlan-adapter with an external antenna as the connection to the AP and the built in Wlan-card as a hotspot. When setting up Linux automatically generated an SSID (the computers name) and a password. Test was positive.
In order to use the same data for the hotspot of my smartphone and the notebook-repeater I changed the notebooks name and the password. Since then the SSID ist seen by the devices, but login is refused stating "false password". I could not find any workaround. I also did not manage to reset to the beginning and have Linux generate its own password.
Thanks for any hint

I am using Linux Mint Cinamaon
Edit & Update: I deleted all files in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections" and restarted. Now Linux generates its own password and this works. Looks to me, that the manually changed password change is not saved correctly in the system, although displayed in the network window.
