    I'm using N900 as router. (using USB RJ45 dongle). I modified your script for that purpose.

    Here my remarks:
    1. In open_wifi_hotspot.sh there should be:
    Code:
    stop dnsmasq
    before you start your own dnsmasq daemon (in other case, there will be two instances running).

    2. I had issues with DNSMASQ with -I parameter set to lo. Basically this limits it to localhost interface and wlan clients didn't obtain DHCP lease. So i removed -I parameter completely

    3. In tar ball you have DHCP_RANGE="192.168.4.100,192.168.4.127", but suggest you to put it back to DHCP_RANGE="192.168.1.100,192.168.1.127" (as in first post)

    4. In wifi.sh, we should stop dnsmasq daemon (started in open open_wifi_hotspot.sh) and start the default one.

    Code:
    start-stop-daemon -S -p /var/run/wifi_tethering.pid
    start dnsmasq
    Anyway thank you for this script. It saved lot of time.

    Trying to connect to the N900 with an Android phone, I don't see honeypot in the list of Wifi networks near me. I ran the script as is, and it reported no problems.

    Standard Android doesn't support to connect to ad-hoc mode.

    There could be two solutions.

    1. Make your Android able to connect to ad-hoc.
    2. Or rewrite the wifi driver for N900 to support direct link.

    You could also use genwall and share the internet connection over bluetooth.

    But I can't see that Android can connect to the internet via a paired Bluetooth device.

    Nothing is easy with Android, if you do network stuff. It is designed for writing whatsapp messages for people who don't know personal computers

    I thought it should work, I never tried.
    Have a look here. Maybe it helps.

    Am I the only one seeing a contradiction between sentence one and sentence two?

    Besides, blaming Android is getting a bit old. Who are you going to blame for my Jolla also not seeing the hotspot created by my N900?

    Jolla actually uses the Android kernel and modules, so so much for blaming Android

    Yeah I've seen that and other web sites, but it looks like there is no magic wand out there.
