Since 4.8 update my AP stopped working with airgeddon, i beleive it has to do with hostapd.
Also, my wifi adapters are being named wlxxxxxxxxxxxx. i beleaive ive found the solution for wlxxxxxxxxxxxx naming, but cant figure out how to resolve the AP. Ive tried 2 wifi adapters, both worked before update. tp-link and the panda pau09. I’m stuck and could use some help.

I hope this is in the format and at least some of the info you need to help me out.
Thanks for completing the form I have relisted your post 
looking into your problem and will get back to you as soon as there is an answer + fix. As Parrot is Debian based there was a known hostapd/NetworkManager update and it may be related to a bug in that update.
Did you update right before the problem?
A user posted a solution yesterday here:
https://community.parrotlinux.org/t/wifi-not-connecting-and-wlan1-name-changed-fixed/11003
Let us know if it works for you
Everything worked great till I update and dist-upgrade. Then things went wrong. I will check if this solution works for me in the morning.
Thanks for the help!!!

You’re welcome!
Wifi is working now, but still no ap on airgeddon. Worked before sudo parrot-upgrade.
Ok, so i checked AP on my HP laptop and AP works and it works great, but on cheap RCA tablet ( that worked before update) doesnt work now. How would I go about trouble shooting this?
