System is 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 running latest PiOS. I installed the Pisound software and did sudo pisound-config. When I select “Change Pisound Hotspot Settings”, I get a Python traceback:
❯ sudo pisound-config

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'
That configuration file belongs to the package “hostapd”, which is not installed. My guess is that the Raspberry Pi OS changed their WiFi user tooling and there’s a different way to configure hotspots now.
