Package: mate-control-center
Version: 1.8.3+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
While using GNOME Desktop Environment, the "Use as Hotspot" feature is
available among the Network settings (please take a look at the pictures).
Once the "Use as Hotspot" button is clicked, the Hotspot configuration file is
created in:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
The contents are:
[connection]
id=Hotspot
uuid=5690eb7f-faa6-4f95-ab81-959081fb1f00
type=wifi
autoconnect=false
[wifi]
ssid=test
mode=ap
mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
security=802-11-wireless-security
hidden=true
[wifi-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
proto=rsn;
pairwise=ccmp;
group=ccmp;
psk=PWWQXj0N
[ipv4]
method=shared
[ipv6]
method=auto
I can't find it among the MATE Network settings.
Please consider to add this useful feature (at least to me) into the future
releases.
I'm not sure if this lack should be reported into the mate-control-center
package.
If not, please tell me which package I should report.
Thanks.
