You're right, we definitely shouldn't let people set up a WEP hotspot (don't know what I was thinking there!), and probably shouldn't let people set up an open hotspot. So it's only the WPA Personal key subtleties that should be in sync between starting a hotspot, changing a hotspot, and connecting to a WPA Personal network.
For the other points we were muffled by a lack of wireframes, which is my fault. I've attached a comparison of "Connect to “<network>”", “Connect to Hidden Network", “Set Up Hotspot", and "Change Hotspot Setup". These illustrate why I think they should all be dialogs, rather than some being dialogs and some being stack pages. Making them dialogs with buttons makes it clear exactly when the hotspot will turn on, and exactly when any changes will take effect. What do you think? ** Attachment added: "wireframes of "Connect to “<network>”", “Connect to Hidden Network", “Set Up Hotspot", and "Change Hotspot Setup"" https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1326271/+attachment/4131098/+files/dialog-variations.phone.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326271 Title: need a setting to activate wifi hotspot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1326271/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
