How to make an android phone use a wi-fi hotspot created on ubuntu [duplicate]

  • 772

I want to know how to enable an android phone to detect the hotspot created under ubuntu so that the phone can use thse internet through it.

I have learnt that Android does not support ad-hoc.I tried changing the setting from ad-hoc to infrastructure..but still did not help..

Any way i can do it? Through the system or any app??

Thanx. :)

    Defining the problem:

    Official android distributions do not show ad-hoc networks in the wifi list, but they are capable of connecting to them.

    Solving the problem:

    Option 1) Create an infrastructure network instead of ad-hoc, if your cart supports this mode.

    Option 2) Root your device and force it to show ad-hoc networks in the wifi list by altering the network config or installing a custom ROM to it.
