Bug Description
* Impact
The hotspot feature fails to forward the data to the clients
* Test case
- log into an Ubuntu or GNOME session
- connect the machine to an eth cable for internet
- go to gnome-control-
- enable the hotspot from the menu in the headerbar
- connect another device to the wifi created
-> the client should connect and access to internet work correctly
* Regression potential
the change is only updating the iptables binary location, there shouldn't be any code impact out of having the command working on systems without usrmerge when it was not before
---------
I have a machine with a wired network connection and a wifi card. I've been using the machine as a wireless router and server in my house. I've attached a screenshot of the Wi-Fi network settings. It looks as expected.
Upon updating to 20.04, none of my machines can use the connection. The linux machine will not connect. The windows machine will connect but will not have internet.
