Enable wireless on laptop with master mode. Disable encryption. 2. Configure static IP address on the phone, and test ping between phone and laptop (wireless). To forward the requests between the wired and wireless connection, you will need to enable ip_forward on the laptop: sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and enable NAT operation. For example: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE I'd suggest that you google (or use any other search engine) for "Internet sharing with linux".
