Client mode should just work using the UI.
Mobile Hotspot
There is no UI for this yet.
To share your mobile data over wireless, you will need to install dnsmasq and hostapd.
You will want to set `wpa=2`, `ssid=` and `wpa_passphrase` in hostapd.conf, like so (of course, there might be other options that are set):
wpa=2 ssid=Internet wpa_passphrase=secureinternetpassword
You can copy the example config files to /etc/hostapd/
For /etc/dnsmasq.conf, make sure `interface=` includes at least `lo,wlan0`, like so:
interface=lo,wlan0
You might also want to change `dhcp-range=` in the config file to match the subnet of your wireless interface ip, per our example:
dhcp-range=192.168.44.50,192.168.44.150,12h
Then restart dnsmasq.
Next, configure iptables:
sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.44.1/24 -j MASQUERADE sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
And finally bring up the interface and run hostapd:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.44.2 sudo hostapd -i wlan0 /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
