Lately, I have been trying to share my internet to my android tab(Samsung Galaxy tab 2, 10.1) via Wifi hotspot.

What I did:

I have used KDE network manager to create a wifi(shared) profile with WPA/WPA2 encryption security. Then, I have connected to that network using "Connect to hidden wifi networks", and it showed that it has been connected.

What is happening:

But, when I am looking for that hotspot using my android tab, the device is not finding the wifi network.

Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thank you. :)

I've been using this method for a while to share between 3 android devices (Nexus 7 , Nexus 9 and Desire 816) as well as the odd laptop and it works without a hitch on Ubuntu 14.10 using unity.

I think the main difference and the only change you may need to make is changing the connection type to ap as described in the guide i linked.

Yes it does.

I used this post and it worked finally!

One note: Delete the prior installation of ap-hotspot if applicable!
