Create an ad-hoc connection that looks like a wifi connection from a router
- by James
I have a Vizio tablet (running a modified version of Android 2.3.2) which, for some reason or another, refuses to list Windows ad-hoc wifi connections on it's wifi connection screen. It can connect to wifi networks served from a normal router, but the wireless bit of my home router is broken, so I'd like to share the internet connection through my laptop's wifi card until the new router arrives.
Is it possible to create an ad-hoc network in Ubuntu that looks like a normal wireless network to my tablet?
