Use ad-hoc for Wifi sharing in Linux

I have been searching for Ubuntu for a long time and cannot find a software that can use wireless network cards as AP. I tried many methods on the Internet and found some hot spots, however, when my Android phone is connected, the ip address cannot be obtained. After studying for a few days, I spent one night last night writing a script and successfully connected it. I hope this script can help you solve the problem.

The iwconfig Wireless Configuration tool is used to set NAT rules using iptable and assign IP addresses using dnsmasq.

Complete script:Https://gist.github.com/1117004

The following describes how to use the script:

# Add the executable permission first. XXX indicates the script path.

Chmod + x/XXX/adhoc

# Run the script

Sudo/XXX/adhoc

# Stop sharing

Sudo/XXX/adhoc-s

# Restarting sharing

Sudo/XXX/adhoc-r

Note:

If you cannot find your shares on your phone or computer after running the script, run the restart sharing command.

Sudo/XXX/adhoc-r

You can do it several times.

Update: According to Aenon prompts, the simpler method is to directly use NetworkManager and "Create a new wireless network ".
