I have installed kernel power 46 and mobilehotspot 0.3.4. I think that iptables and wireless-tools are also required. All these packages are in extras-testing. Connection sharing is working for my laptop (Vista32) and Nokia N95.
To install open x-terminal and type:
In extras-devel you can find mobilehotspot 0.3.5, but this one didn't worked for any of my devices. They couldn't even find N900's access point.Code:apt-get install mobilehotspot iptables wireless-tools
How to handle mobilehotspot (MHS)?
Don't connect the phone to the internet before starting MHS!
First open app and set "Connection", "Network name" and "Encryption". Then press on button "Start" which will initiate 2G/3G internet connection and start wifi access point. Button "Start" will be turned into "Stop", but wifi indicator won't be present/visible, there will be only for 2G/3G connection.
When you decide to end MHS, press on button "Stop". This will turn off wifi and disconnect 2G/3G internet connection. Button "Stop" will become again "Start".

Following your instructions, I noticed it downloaded 0.3.5 instead of 0.3.4 like you claimed yours did. Anyway to force it to use the old package (assuming that is what is wrong)? Were there additional steps beyond rebooting that you used to kick off DHCP?
sudo gainroot apt-get remove --purge mobilehotspot
apt-get install mobilehotspot=0.3.4
Lastly, how do you shut off your connections before starting MHS? (my connections seem to establish after rebooting, regardless of the state of the device on shutdown).

The easiest way is to uninstall current version, then disable extras-devel and install it again, but this time from extras-testing where is v0.3.4.
Another option is to specify version in xterminal. First uninstall current version:
and then type:Code:sudo gainroot apt-get remove --purge mobilehotspot
Code:apt-get install mobilehotspot=0.3.4
I shutdown my connections with desktop widget ConnectNow. Also you can tap on clock, then from appeared menu select "Internet connection" and choose "Disconnect [connection's name]".
Another thing, my Internet connections (Menu->Settings) are set to "Always ask".

First of all, thanks for your reply.
After a few surprises and issues with WEP, it suddenly started working. I'll have to see how it continues.
