connect android to linux

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

i have a wifi usb adaptator in my linux box ip adress 192.168.0.13

wifi adaptator masquaraded to ethernet interface connected to internet (anyway this side part is easy and don't concern the topic)

i have settled android phone with ip adress 192.168.0.14 under advanced wifi parameters

the only thing needed to tether my android phone through pc is to connect android 192.168.0.14 to wifi 192.168.0.13

i precise that i can't use essid and so on because pc's wifi interface is not a hotspot

P.S. : i can start a windows 7 in a virtualbox and transform the wifi interface into a hotspot with connectify but i find it's a very heavy way tongue.gif

i would want a 100% linux solution tongue.gif

P.P.S : i have taken a look in /system/etc/wifi but don't really help

any ideas guys ? apk which can do it ? settings ?

sorry for the double post but i think correct place is here

I guess you need an app on your Linux box what creates the virtual hot-spot (if I got you right, you have a WiFi connection on your box, but it is detected as LAN by a lil' hack, and want to share it to the phone). What Linux are you using?

I'm sure I answered this yesterday, but you need to set up hostapd, do a google search & it'll tell you how.

hostpad is not compatible with ralink drivers (i have rt3070) ;)

or i didn't have found how to make this

i have found the solution it's an application called airbase-ng

the 3 commands are

airmon-ng start wlan0 channel-number

airbase-ng wlan0 essid-name

app create an AP interface at0

ifconfig at0 up

bridge at0 to eth0

dhcp deamon to at0

that's all enjoy

how do you edit the topic to solved ?
