Fedora Linux Access Point

[Lukast]

Hello,

how do I create access point from wifi card on my laptop with Fedora to share internet connection with your android phone or tablet? There are how-to tutorials where you can create adhoc access point, but that is not usually supported by your Android phone/tablet.

In Windows 7 it is quite easy , see http://www.itgeekdiary.com/windows-7...-access-point/

Here are some hints but no easy solution

I will try to investigate hostapd.

My HTC one V as well as the HTC Desire S do offer the 'usb-connection-type' option: Internet-Passthrough (word by word translation from german)
That option uses the internet conenction to computer has and passes it to your phone.

Btw I just found out that it should be fairly simple in Fedora 18 thanks to this feature in NetworkManager:
