unable to connect any device to wifi hotspot: "unable to get IP address"

[tubbadu]

Describe the bug
just installed this tool, tried turning on the wifi to connect my android phone, the wifi is found in the android network manager but when trying to connect it just load for some time and says "unable to get IP address"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install this tool from the latest release (no errors given)
2. launch the gui
3. set any name as SSID (mine was "ciao")
4. set the connection open (no password)
5. leave others settings unchanged (2.4Ghz and all ticks unselected)
6. click "create hotspot"
7. on any device (tried on android phone and on another linux machine, running kubuntu 22.04) try to connect to the network
8. no connection
9. cry, cry a lot

Expected behavior
any other devices able to connect to other wifi should connect also the the just created hotspot

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: fedora KDE
• Version: fedora 35

Additional context
on the same pc, creating a hotspot in kubuntu going to the wifi applet > hotspot works well
even trying to set a password gives the same error
