Using hostapd and a fixed network configuration works perfectly. It may not be the harder hotspot in the world but does the job. interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=/* a sid id */ ignore_broadcast_ssid=1 channel=11 hw_mode=g auth_algs=3 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=/* choose one */ wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40] macaddr_acl=1 accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept List the accepted mac address in the file hostapd.accept and unwanted usage of yur pc as an hotspot will be a bit harder.
