Application cannot start if wireless network adapter is not connected to a network.

I am trying to use NoWiFi to create an access point through my laptop without being connected to a network for a project of mine. When trying to start the NoWifi application, it works fine if I am connected to a WiFi network and once i'm connected and I start the hot spot, it will continue to work if I disconnect from the WiFi network.

However, when I try to restart the hot spot from being disconnected from the WiFi network, the NoWifi application will not stay open. It automatically closes when it detects no network connectivity.

Is this an intended feature or a bug?

I assume it's a bug because it doesn't seem to make sense that you would require a network connection to host a direct hosted network.

I also tried the start on login feature but again while i'm not connect to a network, the app will not start.

I need this feature because my project requires to host an access point from system boot and it will most likely not be under coverage of a WiFi network for the majority of the time but requires another system (which is also not under WiFi coverage) to connect to the mobile hot spot.
