Wireless doesn't support AP mode
Asked by
Himanshu Shekhar
This model Inspiron 3543 ships with Broadcom wireless and bluetooth hardware, along with Ubuntu installed. The wifi hardware does support AP mode (for hotspots), tested with Connectify running within Windows 10 on same machine. The lspci output shows that the firmware in use is "wl" which has no AP support, which makes a potentially useful hardware useless.
Also, I have made no successful attempt yet to share a single file over Bluetooth.
