Pinephone tethering?

It is quite common for Android phones to share mobile broadband connection via wifi/bluetooth/usb to you can browse internet in other devices that doesn't have mobile broadband capabilities (aka tethering).

Has anyone tried to make tethering work with the pinephone? I guess the most difficult part would be to set the wireless interface in 'master' mode to be able to run hostapd or something similar... (IDK if the chipset supports master mode)

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Sure. Wifi hotspot works on Mobian. Bluetooth has to be enabled first to get the menu entry though. It can be safely disabled afterwards.
