I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS in my lenovo laptop and have a android ICS device.
I want to create a wifi-hotspot in ubuntu, which I can later use for connecting android device. I need this setup for capturing the packets from android device and later analysing them using wireshark in my ubuntu.
I tried to create a new hotspot using "Create a new wireless Network" wizard from network manager applet, but for some reason the following happens.
It breaks the existing internet connection(either the WLAN, or
ethernet)
Its not visible in the list of available WIFI hotspots in
the android device.
