simply, I have a device with usb tethering (usb0 adaptor) and i want to use it for hotspot
thanks for support
This is a known limitation of our script, which cannot recognise the usb0 network interface actually. Therefore, a manual configuration would be required to set up your usb0 adapter.
As for the hotspot, you can have a look at the following post. Some adjustments are required to get it working. WiFi HotSpot and G_Ether
yeah did it and i was able to install hotspot
but there is another problem : i donβt have access to internet over hotspot
i couldnβt even ping devices

(iβm sure that i have access to internet over usb0 and iβm using it right now)
edit #1 : i did
dhclient wlan0
and then i was able to access to local network but still cant connect to internet
question: If you are on the DietPi device themself, you are able to ping something on the internet?
Can you share following
ip r
Probably something missing on the routing/forwarding settings.

Did you replace
local eth_iface=$(G_GET_NET -t eth iface)
with
local eth_iface=usb0
?
Because the script subsequently uses $eth_iface to setup NAT rules.
