Anubhav, thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, the two WiFi adapters on my laptop do not support AP mode either. However, I did find the script interesting. I followed the web page you provided, and went back to the original post which inspired the script you suggested, which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009381 >From that page, I learned how to enable NAT forwarding. So now my cellphone can access internet through my laptop, which the laptop is set in Ad-Hoc mode.
Ralf, you are not hijacking anything. Ralex bud. Gian, than you for the help. However, since my WiFi adapters do not support AP mode, I guess hostapd is not for my laptop in this case.
