Description Germano Massullo 2011-05-10 16:29:54 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I am a Fedora KDE user. When KDE 4 was relased, Fedora started using nm-applet of Gnome for internet connection, instead of using KDE connection manager.
Nm-applet allows special wifi connection, let me do an example to clarify:
I have a laptop connected with cabled ethernet connection, and with nm-applet I am able to use the laptop wireless antenna as a wifi access point.
I asked on IRC if this is possible also with KDE connection manager, but seems it is not possible.
So it would be cool if in future KDE developers will include this function in KDE.

Reproducible: Always

This is possible with the latest snapshot of Plasma NM. Just create a wireless connection of type "ad-hoc" and IPv4 method "shared", and activate the connection:
