I had (and still partly have) the same questions. I know where to find the
answers, but didn't dare
to use them.
--First "nmcli -p connection show --active" will show all your connections. Or
me the access
point has name (not id) "Hotspot" (I don't know if the name depends on the
device and driver).
--Then "nmcli -p connection show --active Hotspot" gives all the details,
including 802-11-
wireless.ssid (the hostname), 802-11-wireless.mode ap (access-point I
guess),IP4.ADRESSE[1]
(ip = 10.42.0.1/24, gw = 0.0.0.0), IP6.ADRESSE[1] (ip =
fe80::7e5c:f8ff:fe8e:9473/64, gw = ::)
and many other infos.
--What I didn't dare to do was to try "nmcli connection edit (or modify)
Hotspot".
--What I did was to modify my DNS setup. In my master zone I added 10.42.0.1 as
ip-address
for my server (which now has 3 addresses, one for the outside, from my ISP, one
not routable for
my local network 192.168.xxx.1, and 10.42.0.1, not routable also). In the zone
file I added also
fixed addresses 10.42.0.xxx for some devices (e.g. a printer which has two
addresses
192.168.10.6 and 10.42.0.6; this allows wifi clients to use this printer. I
also added a reverse
zone 10.42.0.zone.
I can't remember how I managed to exclude the fixed addresses from dhcpd range
to avoid
conflicts but it works. Hope this will help.
Sorry for my English.
