https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot has support for creating a WEP/Open hotspot with only one Wi-Fi card. This would be preferred over the current methods with Linux, macOS, and Windows XP/Vista, as those all require a Wi-Fi card/adapter as well as another connection, like Ethernet or an iPhone.

The reason I haven't PR'd this is the fact that Lillie had difficulties setting it up, so if more users could give input on it, it can be decided on whether or not to add it, and any information that should be included with it on the Wi-Fi page.

I got it working under Manjaro on kernel 5.15. I only tested this on a n3dsxl via DS wifi connections and on a phone. It seems fairly straight-forward and fairly easy.

Which WiFi adapter are you using? The README says there can be some issues with 5GHz for some vendors and some issues in general for Realtek adapters.

Interested in Lillie's too.

This was on an intel adapter.
