# Activate hotspot:

# 1. Backup various existing files to allow restoration when hotspot
#    deactivated
# 2. Remove a number of existing files that need to be replaced
# 3. Create links from deleted file locations to hotspot config files
# 4. Create status file to indicate hotspot is active
# 5. Reboot the wlanpi to ensure clean activation
