Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
I've seen on a colleague's computer (different operating system) that there is a function through which with a few simple clicks the computer's internet connection can be made available to others, using the WLAN of the the computer (it then becomes a WLAN access point). Ubuntu has no such feature. Would it be legal and possible to implement it?
PS I didn't mean knetworkmanager but the package choser did not know the package " networkmanager".

there is one problem with this: adhoc networking doesnt really work in modern wifi drivers and I am not sure when support for that will be added to the mainstream drivers again.
