http://ubuntuforums.org – I have 2 wireless cards, internal & usb wifi. I am connected to the internet with my USB Wifi which means that my internal wifi is idle all the time. I want to hook up my ps3 to the net as well, but ps3 doesn't see the internet signal also it is too far to drag an ethernet cable from the router to the ps3. Thus I want to share via my laptop. Ps3 is a bit of a retard and doesn't see Ad-Hoc, so I am gonna try to use ubuntu for this. I wonder is there a way to create infrastructured hotspot . I have successfully created adhoc hotspot between wired and wifi before in ubuntu, but now when I go (Hardware)

As many of you know, most of our android(not only android) devices can't connect to ad hoc hotspots. There's a solution for win7/8 users to set up infrastructure hotspot on their laptop using software like connectify and so on. Ubuntu also allows to create wifi hotspot to share internet, but it will be ad hoc one. So here's the guide how to set up infrastructure hotspot on ubuntu 12.04/12.10.

Looking for working solution to share my linux internet over wifi with my android galaxy ace. I have linux mint 13. And i m trying to create a wifi hotspot. It creates and connects only to adhoc. but android galaxy ace doesnt detect adhoc connections. and linux doesn't connect to any other type of connection.

In my ubuntu 11.10, i am using MTS usb modem for Internet connection and have created wifi-hotspot for accessing Internet in my android mobile.

I am using my personal computer at work, and am connected to the company's internet service by wire (LAN i think). I use a wifi hotspot application on my laptop to create a wifi hotspot, so that i can use my tablet to connect to the internet via the laptop wifi. Can my employer know what i am surfing on my tablet?

I'm need to use my laptop (with lubuntu 12.04) as a WiFi hotspot.

I created the wifi hotspot via "Create new wireless network" from the network connections menu.

The hotspot comes up and then disconnects. I can see this on my Android phone and tablet.

I just created a wifi infrastructure hotspot on my laptop running ubuntu 12.04 using the steps given in this page

Now while my other Android phones can connect to my laptop, they are still not able to connect to the internet.

My laptop is connected to the internet using ppp0 (mobile broadband) already.

Any workarounds to resolve

I connect to internet through a USB Modem. I want to create a wifi hotspot in my laptop so that i can use internet in my android mobile. How can I do that?

I have a new S3 and any time it sees a new wifi signal it asks if I want to configure a wifi hotspot.

It doesn't ask if I want to connect to a wifi network, but rather if I want to configure a wifi hotspot.

I have network notification unchecked in the advanced wifi settings so it should not notify me of new wifi hotspots and I have tethering off.

This is really annoying because the scree
