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 192.168.42.1/24 -j MASQUERADE sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
And finally bring up the interface and run hostapd:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.42.2 sudo hostapd -i wlan0 /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
