Was interested in the shell script version but I'll give this a try.

Thanks,

The other point of using this script version is lower power consumption. Thanks for all the feedback.

Yes, lower power consumption is what I am also interested in! I will try the script this evening on KP49 and holla back.

9000, could You explain where exactly script version uses less power than new qt mobile hotspot?

Bluetooth PAN is obvious power-saver, but WiFi? I may be wrong, but AFAIK QT mobile hotspot use static GUI that run set of scripts, and in this thread we got scripts itself. Doesn't leave much room for power-saving.

I'm actually comparing to Joikuspot in term of power consumption, and referring to the technical issues of mobile hotspot with kernel update, and that occasional technical issues is what driven me to make a script version.

Of course, I'd be grateful if you'd help do the battery profiling and comparison with mobile hotspot, and share with us the results. ;)

I tested the scripts this evening and it seems to work fine with KP49. Thank you very much for sharing this, 9000!

I've no experience nor interest in using Joikuspot, but as for QT Mobilehotspot (!= mobilehotspot package!), it is working flawlessly - it seems, that all issues of original mobilehotspot have been fixed. For me, it's stable quality.

Not to mention many additional (optional) features like automatic USB networking and internet sharing, but it's quite off-topic here.

As for battery usage tests, I'll perform some as time permits ;)

I wondered the purpose of scanning the area when you are opening the hotspot yourself, save avoiding channel conflict. BTW, you could use WiFieye, it is quite useful.
