There is the Garuda Network thing…with a hotspot option in it pointing to a [WIFI hotspot tool] , You could also try this:

nmcli d wifi hotspot ifname [e.g wlp3s0] ssid [my_wifi_name] password [my_password]

Well since you want the internal one, this will probably hit right at it

nmcli d wifi hotspot ssid [my_wifi_name] password [my_password]

You cud try that and see if its of help, of course you have to install [nmcli] if its missing.
