    Sorry for currently not support by deepin-system-settings network module, but you can install the origin network-manager-gnome package for tempory use. After install, you can just start it by typing nm-applet in gnome-terminal, then manage you hostspot connection by click the icon in system tray icon area.

    can someone help to how to create wifi hostpos in linux deepin, so my android device can connect to internet from hostpot in my laptop
    Hi ,ultrahen
    You can create a script to achieve this function.  I'm using it now. It is easy and works very well.
    1. Open terminal and type:
    1. sudo apt-get install hostapd dnsmasq
    Copy the Code
    2.
    1. sudo service hostapd stop
    2. sudo service dnsmasq stop
    3. sudo update-rc.d hostapd disable
    4. sudo update-rc.d dnsmasq disable
    Copy the Code
    3. You need edit dnsmasq.conf
    1. sudo gedit /etc/dnsmasq.conf
    Copy the Code
    Then add following content to the end of dnsmasq.conf
    1. # Bind to only one interface
    2. bind-interfaces
    3. # Choose interface for binding
    4. interface=wlan0
    5. # Specify range of IP addresses for DHCP leasses
    6. dhcp-range=192.168.150.2,192.168.150.10
    Copy the Code
    4. Edit hostapd.conf
    1. sudo gedit /etc/hostapd.conf
    Copy the Code
    Add following content to hostapd.conf
    1. # Define interface
    2. interface=wlan0
    3. # Select driver
    4. driver=nl80211
    5. # Set access point name
    6. ssid=myhotspot
    7. # Set access point harware mode to 802.11g
    8. hw_mode=g
    9. # Set WIFI channel (can be easily changed)
    10. channel=6
    11. # Enable WPA2 only (1 for WPA, 2 for WPA2, 3 for WPA + WPA2)
    12. wpa=2
    13. wpa_passphrase=yourpassword
    Copy the Code
    Note that: you have set a hotspot called myhotspot(see  line 6: ssid=myhotspot), the password is yourpassword(see line 13: wpa_passphrase=yourpassword), you can change the password to any string you want.

    5. Create a script in you home directory, take start_hotspot.sh for example:
    copy following  content into it:
    1. #!/bin/bash
    2. # Start
    3. # Configure IP address for WLAN
    4. sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.150.1
    5. # Start DHCP/DNS server
    6. sudo service dnsmasq restart
    7. # Enable routing
    8. sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    9. # Enable NAT
    10. sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
    11. # Run access point daemon
    12. sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf
    13. # Stop
    14. # Disable NAT
    15. sudo iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
    16. # Disable routing
    17. sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
    18. # Disable DHCP/DNS server
    19. sudo service dnsmasq stop
    20. sudo service hostapd stop
    Copy the Code
    6.Save it and open a terminal:
    1. sudo ./start_hotspot.sh
    Copy the Code
    The output maybe like this:

    * Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server dnsmasq                      [ OK ]
    /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
    Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
    Failed to update rate sets in kernel module
    Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr xxxxxxxxx and ssid 'myhotspot'


    DONE!  
    Turn on your android WiFi, you'll find a new wifi named "myhotspot".
