Simulate internet connection about comitup HOT 2 OPEN

I want to say it is a NetworkManager issue, but there is a possible cause from Comitup.

I've encountered a issue with long-lived Access Point sessions. The wpa supplicant process silently crashes, making the AP unusable. This is especially a problem in the HOTSPOT mode, often requiring the device to be rebooted if left in HOTSPOT for a period of time.

I worked around this by periodically killing and restarting the wpa supplicant process. Sometimes, this causes connections to drop, but not always.

The potential problem comes from the fact that I continue the process for the "AP Wifi Device" also while in the connected mode. If you only have one Wifi interface on your device, that could be bad.

Try commenting out this line from /usr/share/comitup/comitup/states.py, and see if that helps. Let me know.

I'll also note that I use the app for the same purpose, though connected to a Wifi AP with an upstream Internet connection, with no problems. That suggests NetworkManager (or a DE?) is the cause.

Take a look at the "CONNECTIVITY SECTION" in the NetworkManager.conf man page.
