<title>Create a wireless hotspot</title>

<p>You can use your computer as a wireless hotspot. This allows other devices to
connect to you without a separate network, and allows you to share an internet
connection you've made with another interface, such as to a wired network or
over the cellular network.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Click the system status area on the top bar and select
  <gui>Wi-Fi</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Select <gui>Wi-Fi Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click the <gui>Use as Hotspot...</gui> button.</p></item>
  <item><p>If you are already connected to a wireless network, you will be asked
  if you want to disconnect from that network. A single wireless adapter can
  connect to or create only one network at a time. Click
  <gui>Turn On</gui> to confirm.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>A network name (SSID) and security key are automatically generated.
The network name will be based on the name of your computer. Other devices
will need this information to connect to the hotspot you've just created.</p>
