Problems getting a WiFii hotspot working on a Raspberry Pi using an external Wi-Fi module
I am trying to create a hotspot on a Raspberry Pi (raspbian) using an external Wi-Fi module (wg2017).
I tried nmcli to create one but nmcli doesn't see wlan0.
wlan0 wifi unavailable --
I tried using a solution that includes disabling dhcpcd and created the hotspot but I can not connect to that network. Because after disabling dhcpcd I can not get an IP address.
I tried a solution that includes hostapd but in that situation I cannot see the Wi-Fi device.

Of course there are other ways to make this work, but I would suggest to stick with the official guide by the Raspberry Pi foundation for creating an access point.
Then you can be sure that it will work out with Raspbian.
A few notes/hints to your setup:
- An external Wi-Fi module will typically show up as
wlan1. Make sure to replacewlan0withwlan1(or the name of the actual interface, if it indeed differs fromwlan1) in the linked tutorial above. - Getting
network-managerto work an Raspbian is not straightforward. Simply installingnetwork-managerwill not cut it. Please see e.g. this questions. - As you already seem to have tried several different things to make this work, I would suggest to start off with a fresh Raspbian image, if this is not too inconvenient for you. Otherwise even the official tutorial might not work due to side-effects from changes made to your system.

Yes that actually worked. With a little bit of trial and error.
