Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)
 

I'm using N900 as router. (using USB RJ45 dongle). I modified your script for that purpose.

Here my remarks:
1. In open_wifi_hotspot.sh there should be:
before you start your own dnsmasq daemon (in other case, there will be two instances running).

2. I had issues with DNSMASQ with -I parameter set to lo. Basically this limits it to localhost interface and wlan clients didn't obtain DHCP lease. So i removed -I parameter completely

3. In tar ball you have DHCP_RANGE="192.168.4.100,192.168.4.127", but suggest you to put it back to DHCP_RANGE="192.168.1.100,192.168.1.127" (as in first post)

4. In wifi.sh, we should stop dnsmasq daemon (started in open open_wifi_hotspot.sh) and start the default one.

Anyway thank you for this script. It saved lot of time.

Trying to connect to the N900 with an Android phone, I don't see honeypot in the list of Wifi networks near me. I ran the script as is, and it reported no problems.

Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)
 

Standard Android doesn't support to connect to ad-hoc mode.

There could be two solutions.

1. Make your Android able to connect to ad-hoc.
2. Or rewrite the wifi driver for N900 to support direct link.

You could also use genwall and share the internet connection over bluetooth.

But I can't see that Android can connect to the internet via a paired Bluetooth device.

Nothing is easy with Android, if you do network stuff. It is designed for writing whatsapp messages for people who don't know personal computers :)

I thought it should work, I never tried.
Have a look here. Maybe it helps.

Am I the only one seeing a contradiction between sentence one and sentence two?

Besides, blaming Android is getting a bit old. Who are you going to blame for my Jolla also not seeing the hotspot created by my N900?

Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)
 

Jolla actually uses the Android kernel and modules, so so much for blaming Android :)

Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)
 

Yeah I've seen that and other web sites, but it looks like there is no magic wand out there.

Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)
 

but it uses its own userland.
