I setup a hotspot with the Hotspot Setup, and it shows as "Invalid". Where does it say *why* it's invalid? Thanks...

Usually it is invalid because the interface the hotspot is installed on is disabled or inactive. Check the interface to see if is enabled and active.

No such luck, all the interfaces are active...

I think my main goal in posting here is to prod mikrotik into providing some useful error messages when routeros knows something's not right...

Actually, I may have been hasty: while the wlan interface is enabled, it's not showing as running for some reason, so that probably is the source of hotspot error...

Nope, it went to running state when I connected something to it, but the hotspot still shows invalid

Have you tried to create the hotspot again?
