JoikuSpot has been reported working on kp48, but as for - more important, as totally Open - mobile hotspot, I'm not sure. Still, if modules are loading correctly, it's matter of trying yourself, isn't it?

Personally, I also use bluetooth/usb for that...

I'm more concerned about Pali ignoring (not on purpose, due to lack of time) possible seagfaults handling (or whatsnot) errors in kp48. Yea, it's not big deal on it's own - one can save things from user in leafpad, and then mv and chmod it - but I'm worried it may be sign of something more important going wrong. As someone said before, userland applications should not be able to crash whole system like that.
