Open All Settings --> Network --> Wireless --> Use as Hotspot

network dialog

I can't see the network from other machines or phones. any hints?

  • may be your card doesn't support g mode. Try building a hostapd file on your own using a / b or n mode. http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd – Web-E Feb 05 '13 at 15:00
