Tutorial around building a wireless hotspot to bypass captive portals

[beta-tester]

i have the actual Raspi OS 2022-09-22-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img version installed to my RPi Zero W and tried to set it up as an AP+STA.
for the AP part i watched the guide for Setting up a Routed Wireless Access Point.
but it looks this guide is outdated.

there it is written Buster is the newest version instead of Bullseye.

and they use iptables but in the current Raspi OS iptables is not installed anymore.
sudo: iptables: command not found
and its transformation from iptables to nftables from the earlier version of RaspiOS Bullseye seems to be gone as well.

Honestly somewhat tempted to remove this section, and the following section as well. Feels like something that can be better deal with with the new tutorials section of the site.

See also #2314.

Also tangentially touches on #2520 (maybe?)

Right. I think we should yank this, and the bridge mode section, and rewrite as a tutorial for the main site. Assigning it to @tobybroberts.

will the tutorial be for dhcpcd environment for the (new) NetworkManager environment or for both?

[aallan]

Primarily using NetworkManager 'cause it's the new hotness and that's what people will have (ping @tobybroberts), but potentially both I guess depending on how much overhead of extra effort (and awkwardness) it adds to the tutorials.

@tobybroberts wrt our conversation earlier today, we should merge the routed and bridged tutorials together into one "setting up a wireless access point".

All noted.

NetworkManager is the new standard then i am fine when there is only a tutorial for that available. thank you in advanced,

when i can add some wishes, please also try to make a tutorial for AP + STA mode.
e.g. for the RPi Zero W it would be nice to have STA and AP simultanuosly on its wlan.
there are some old uncomplete guides out there, but none is using NetworkManager to do that yet.
