ap-hotspot not working after update to 15.04 (64 bit)












2















I have recently updated to Ubuntu 15.04 (64 bit). My `ap-hotspot' configuration was functional in the earlier installation.



In the current scenario, the devices present around my computer are no longer able to see the Wifi access point.



Could I be given instructions on what has to be done?



PS: I have also tried using the 'Create access point' using the Network icon in system settings, (https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-adhoc.html) and it is not working
