Re: [Call for testing] Wi-Fi Hotspots (Internet tethering)

 

Hi,

On mako - rc-proposed, the hotspot is seen by pc or android mobile but they
can't not connect to it (asking several times for password without
connect). I've changed the default / random password in hotspot
configuration, so maybe because of that.

Other things seems to work fine (activation, configuration, indicator, ...)

Thanks anyway,

Alexandre,
