I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on an Orange Pi zero which has an ethernet port and wifi. using nmtui I was able to get the basic funcionality working.

The lan has static configuration for my network and i'm trying to set up the access point to behave in a more integrated fashion than as a basic hotspot.

At the moment the wifi access point setup is as follows

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

        inet 10.42.0.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.42.0.255

        inet6 fe80::1042:65ff:fea4:81c9  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

        ether 12:42:65:a4:81:c9  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

In nmtui it is simply setup as "shared" because attempts to set it up any other way resulted in a non functioning access point.

My network is router controlled and has a dhcp range of 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200

with the router ip address as 192.168.2.1 and a 255.255.255.0 subnet.

What I want is the access point client connections to be on the same network as the lan (192.168.2.x) instead of 10.42.0.x range that they're issued in.

Secondary to that i'm flexible as to how the ip addresses are allocated. Either (depending on what is possible) get ip addresses allocated by the router or set up to allocate ip addresses in the range above 192.168.2.200

Google hasn't given me any useful information on this. nmtui does not appear to be well documented.

network manager documentation for ubuntu has pretty much nothing on access point configurations see: https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/network/network-manager/docs/configure-wifi-connections

So basically i'm struggling to determine what is even possible let alone how to do it.

Other info that might help...
