i had window 7 installed on my HP G62 and i recently moved to ubuntu 11.10.

i used to share my internet connection to my iPhone using connectify since i only have wired connection in the student apartments.

i tried to set up a new hotspot using ubuntu, but the problem is that the iPhone is not even detecting that there is a hotspot.

is there anyway to fix this??

thank you..

maybe its because of the encryption type.see what type is supported by ur iphone and use it if you don’t know what is the supported type, try making the network without any password and if it worked u will know that you have to change the encryption type.
