Had some spare time during xmas, so I created a tethering gui for Sailfish. The app allows sharing the mobile data connection over Wifi or Bluetooth. It uses NAT and creates a private network, which is shared over Wifi (infrastructure WPA2) or Bluetooth PAN.

The necessary network connections are handled automatically, so there should be no need to tweak the network settings. Previous state of the network connections is also restored, when a user disables tethering or closes the app.

At the moment only the SSID and PSK of the Wifi network can be modified. This is due to the limitations in the dbus interface of Connman. So currently it is not possible to (easily) modify for example the WLAN channel or private network address (which is randomized every time tethering is enabled).

The app has been tested by a limited number of persons for now, so some issues might arise. And there could also be situations, where the enabling process will fail for a good reason. If in doubt, just try to enable tethering again from the menu (if available) or by restarting the app.
