Operating Systems Linux Debian WIFI hotspot and android client Post 302667295 by zer0sig on Friday 6th of July 2012 04:04:52 AM

How are you connecting your notebook to the internet?

A great deal of what are referred to as "hotspots" use 3G or 4G wireless connections to cell towers and 802.11 wifi for clients to connect.

if you're plugging in with an ethernet cable, you should have the necessary hardware to connect at least one wifi client, but either way, I don't know whether any current release Linux distribution has a simple turnkey setup for this. I'd wager Ubuntu would have it as easy as anyone, but I would probably check the Ubuntu forums. If you're trying to connect to the internet and serve as a wifi hotspot with your one built-in adapter, it's just not going to work for you, as far as I am aware.

NAME
XWriteBitmapFile - writes a bitmap SYNTAX
int XWriteBitmapFile(display, filename, bitmap, width, height, x_hot, y_hot) Display *display; char *filename; Pixmap bitmap; unsigned int width, height; int x_hot, y_hot; ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. filename Specifies the file name to use. The format of the file name is operating-system dependent. bitmap Specifies the bitmap. width height Specify the height. x_hot y_hot Specify where to place the hotspot coordinates (or -1,-1 if none are present) in the file. DESCRIPTION
The XWriteBitmapFile function writes a bitmap out to a file in the X Version 11 format. The name used in the output file is derived from the file name by deleting the directory prefix. The file is written in the encoding of the current locale. If the file cannot be opened for writing, it returns BitmapOpenFailed. If insufficient memory is allocated, XWriteBitmapFile returns BitmapNoMemory; otherwise, on no error, it returns BitmapSuccess. If x_hot and y_hot are not -1, -1, XWriteBitmapFile writes them out as the hotspot coordinates for the bitmap. XWriteBitmapFile can generate BadDrawable and BadMatch errors. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory. BadDrawable A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap. BadMatch An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. SEE ALSO
