Yes, mobilehotspot is the way to go for the future. This was just quick and dirty.

I think you need to delete the "1" from this line in hotspot_backend.py.

Code:
        self.exec_cmd('ifconfig ' + self.wlanif + ' ' + self.network + '1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up')

Ya, could be optified. Most of that 400k is probably docs that don't get installed.

That is *definitely* asking for trouble. Won't be available at boot, for one....

P.S. Edit: ah, i think i see why you have that "1" there, so the wifi connection always gets .1 in the network?
