So what do you say.
What my userland-aproach would need is the same setup of the
wireless part but just without DHCP, an IP-Address and any NAT-Rules.
Instead of that you would just do e.g. an "ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0" to bring
the interface up and start an applciation pointing to wlan0.
A good place to host the two patched needed for qemu and what is
needed to build would probably be the mobilehotspot garage project.
Great, request access to the project and you can then put the patches up to the SVN repo directly.
I need to think about the best way to handle the kernel vs userland packages (need to be separate packages, question is how to reorganize the code so that as much as possible can be shared).
Easter I'm away from everything, the weekend after that I'm also busy and I've just been sick a week so I have a ton of backlog at work so I don't think I'm able to do much in the next 2-3 weeks.
However feel free to mail me (the usual garage alias works) your ideas (any code you want to work on just do it on the SVN repo, that's what it is there for anyway).
how do i download this to my n900? i dont wanna pay for joikuspot....
While it may be considered bad form to reply with a quote I'll do it anyways since it's literally the first thing on the list in the first post of the thread. A little reading comprehension goes a long way...
1. Basic functionality is present, one can share the cellular data connection over Ad-Hoc Wifi. Requires a custom kernel with NAT support. See the project homepage for instructions.
I'll also quote a very important phrase from the instructions:

Also not that this not even in extras-devel (<- READ THAT PAGE) yet and for a reason: if it destroys your device or kills your pet that's your problem, not mine (though I would feel really bad if it killed your pet).
After reading the threads, I figured, I'll try the commercial app for 10E and see if it works. I'm still gagging on the EULA, so I haven't gotten that far yet.

Uploaded the mobilehotspot package to extras-devel, however it seems the packages interface cannot resolve Provides properly (kernel-modules-maemo provides kernel-feature-netfilter)
Anyways this is just a prelude to starting to think how to install this via HAM smoothly. While the extras-devel has higher version number it in fact has same code as the 0.2.0 blob in project SVN.
I have just installed mobilehotspot. Should I just be able to use it as is or do I need to install other things in order to get it to work?
Installed from where, using what instructions ? Are you using the -hotspot or -maemo custom kernels (or some other custom kernel that provides netfilter ?)
The fastest (and very dangerous) way to get a kernel usable with the mobilehotspot is to install titans -maemo kernel with the flasher package and then reboot.
If you don't have WLAN, you will have to configure a peer-to-peer network over USB. It should be possible, but I never used it. If the USB-Network works, you can use the methods above to share your internet connection.
