Unless you used a 'mini install image' you already have 90% of them. To install it in Ubuntu you must first install the dependencies: sudo apt install bash util-linux procps hostapd iproute2 iw wireless-tools haveged iptables dnsmasq git It is very easy to use and very effective.

This tool is part of Arch Linux repositories and should be in Ubuntu repositories too! Let me introduce you to an excellent tool that simplifys everything: create_ap (by oblique) Source: Connectify for Linux with Single wireless interface. Note: To start again your network-manager service as it was before to run the hotspotsetup.sh script, restart your computer ( sudo reboot). Run the above script in terminal with root privileges: sudo ~/bin/hotspotsetup.sh Start the wireless hotspot being connected to a wireless network from the same wireless adapter

Go back into terminal and run: chmod +x ~/bin/hotspotsetup.sh - to grant execute access for the script.

Iptables -append FORWARD -in-interface new1 -j ACCEPT Iptables -table nat -append POSTROUTING -out-interface new0 -j MASQUERADE Iw phy phy0 interface add new0 type station Ifconfig wlan0 down #wlan0 - the name of your wireless adapter

Copy and paste the following script in the new created file:.

After run gedit ~/bin/hotspotsetup.sh - this will create the new file hotspotsetup.sh in gedit.

In a terminal run mkdir -p bin - this command will make a bin directory in your home folder if you don't already have it.

Note: All of these edits doesn't affect with nothing your current network configuration. I used something like: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant And you probably have more examples in /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/ directory. See man wpa_supplicant for some quick examples. In wpa_nf you must provide the settings of your current wireless network. In /etc/default/udhcp, comment the line that says DHCPD_ENABLED='no'. Opt router 192.168.0.101 #This IP must to be in the same subset as your current default route Opt dns 192.168.0.1 #Your current default route (Gateway) In nf file comment all the current lines (by adding a # character in front of the line) and add the following new lines: start 192.168.0.102 #These IPs must to be in the same subset as your current default route Wpa_passphrase=1234567890 #Change the passphrase as you wish Ssid=my_wifi_hotspot #Change the ssid name as you wishР”В¬hannel=11 #I sugest you to use the same channel as your wireless network In nf file add the following code: interface=new1 Run the following command in terminal to edit corresponding files: sudo -H gedit /etc/nf /etc/nf /etc/default/udhcpd /etc/wpa_nf You can install these with sudo apt-get install iw hostapd iptables udhcpd udhcpc macchanger

Tools neededР”В¬heck whether all the below mentioned packages are installed: iw, hostapd, iptables, udhcpd, udhcpc, macchanger. If the output is null or if the string cfg80211 is not in the output, it makes no sense to continue and you should pay attention at second and third point from this answer. Run the following command in terminal: lsmod | grep ath Detect if your wireless device will work with this method

This wireless device must to use an Atheros driver that is already build with nl80211 support. After I saw this link offered by vasishath, I managed to setup a wireless hotspot to share the internet connection from the same single wireless interface device.
