With Ubuntu you can broadcast you wifi, nevermind tethering, I'm surfing, sshing around my ubase, so geeky!

This is what I want to do. I have an iPad without 3g. I want to use N900 (which of course got 3g) to provide internet to the iPad. Is that possible in a way?

Should be possible with Joiku Hotspot or Mobile Hotspot. Mobile Hotspot creates Ad-hoc wireless network, so the only question is, if iPad can see it.

I'm using Mobile Hotspot 0.3.4 (from extras-testing) to connect my laptop. There is also version 0.3.5 which is in extras-devel, but this one doesn't work for me.

I've used both of them and my iPod can see the network and I'm guessing it would work with iPad too..

I could easily install mobile hotspot with the special kernel, but my camera did not work any more. Had to uninstall the kernel.

Is there a way to get mobile hot-spot AND camera working ?

phpman, what special kernel? Do you think one of enhanced kernels for power users (v42, v46 or v47)? With these kernels camera works.

crabsody, if you are going to install Mobile Hotspot, you will need first to install enhanced kernel.

New attempt with v47.

When opening the camera, I see a little while the camera app, then it crashes with "Operation failed".

So, I cannot get at the same time wifi tethering AND camera.

Do you have installed fcam-drivers and which version?

What you get, if you execute this in xterminal?

I'm pretty sure this is a known problem that is fixable by reinstalling the drivers. I don't have access to my favorites now, but on the v46 thread this was mentionated lots of times.
