Forget the description beneath. Let me ask it in an other way.
I have a ubuntu pc, a wireless router and an android tablet IN THE JUNGLE. No internet what so ever, just a wireless signal from my router.
How can I set this up that I have a permanent link (share) between the pc and tablet. The pc shares to the tablet and the tablet to the pc.
Should I wire the pc to the router on the wan port or the lan port ? ( as mentioned on the net for extending ethernet through an AP on an existing wireless network) Is this just a samba/ssh mather ?
I tried a lot but just couldn't make it work. Pinging works most of the time but every other attemps gives me "host unreacheble".
Thanks

What follows was the first formulation of the question :
I would like to connect an android phone/tablet to my Ubuntu pc in my car.
Having a spare router I though of making a local wireless network. All the info on the net is about turning the spare router into an access point of a existing Ethernet connection.
In my case the spare router is not connected to the Ethernet wire but directly onto a network port on my pc. In my car I have mobile Ethernet, I have been able to share this connection through the router to broadcast internet to my android phone. I also have a wireless network card ( no master mode possible) to connect my ubuntu pc to wireless networks at work and at home ( car is not moving).
Is there a set-up where you can communicate with a router directly attached to the network card on a Linux pc ?
What it could be used for : sharing music library for xbmc yatse controller in car. This works as a charm at home but not once you're out of range of the wireless network.
Any help would be very appreciated
Thanks in advance.
