With Windows 11 I can simultaneously connect to a Wifi network and serve as a hotspot with the same computer.
I can’t find how to do this with Fedora Workstation 40, is it possible?
Wifi chip is a Mediatek MT7921K (RZ608) Wi-Fi 6E 80MHz.
I remember looking into this a year or so back. Short answer is that it’s in the unfortunate ‘grey zone’ of things that are technically possible but niche enough that nobody’s really built a utility that can be baked into any distro (inc. fedora).
Had these two thread in my notes on the matter, its Ubuntu but might help you out - there are options but they can be a bit of a kludge.
EDIT: Just looked now and this is being actively maintained!!
Has a copr repo so should be a doddle, will try myself tomorrow
Hi Jake,
Have you managed to make it work? I’ve tried to install it but I’m not sure if I did it properly.
Thank you
not like widows, when i open hotspot, fedora will disconnect my wireless , I ONLY have one wireless adapter,if disconnect from router , how to use the fedora hotspot ? no Internet.
In Windows OS, it will create a virtual network adapter for hotspot, and my other device can use the hotspot for Internet connection.
when disable hotspot, OS will remove the virtual adapter.
All the smart phone can connect wifi and share the hotspot to others devices with out LTE data . Why F41 can not ?
linux-wifi-hotspot seems Not working in Fedora 41.
