Hello everyone:

we've been working on Wi-Fi hotspots which will allow you to share your
cellular data connection with nearby clients
​ using a wireless network.


This is now available
​in
 silo
​46
, for both vivid and wily phone
​ ​
images.
​We're happy with how it works, but we're looking for your feedback
and unforeseen problems.


We want to ask you all to test it and report any issues
​. If you hit an issue, here's how to report it:

   - ​A client can't see the hotspot or the hotspot does not work:​

   - File against:
      ​
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+filebug
      ​​
      - ​Please attach /var/log/syslog as well as
      ~/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.log*​

      - ​There's a problem with the System Settings UI:
   - File against:
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+filebug
      - ​Please attach log files which you'll find here:
      ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log​*

​To start the hotspot:

   1. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled.
   2. Go to System Settings -> Mobile/Cellular​
   3. Tap “Wi-Fi hotspot”
   4. Set up your hotspot
   5. Enable it.
