kde network manager for making my desktop pc a wireless router


Dear all,
I would like to connect my android cell phone on the internet. I have bought a usb wifi card for my desktop pc to allow my android to connect over wifi (my desktop has internet access through ethernet cable)

I have used this guide (I am running opensuse but the kde applet is the same)
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/...d-ubuntu-1404/

I am picking wpa-wpa2 as security method and I give a password.
I can see the wifi network on my android phone and I press the butoon to connect. I give the right password (I have also checked with different lengths of passwords and less complex ones) and I keep get the message that authorization failed (I am not sure that this is indeed the problem...)

Where should I look for log files to try to understand what is causing me problems?

Regards
Alex

Hi,
I am sorry I have not replied earlier but I was busy with "personal" domain. I wanted to make this work with the network manager and to avoid scripts. I am showing below how I had set it up. (of course I am showing not the current password).

The biggest problem is that my cell phone returns an authorization error when connected on my wifi. I have tried with different passwords but I guess this is not the reason I can not connect. (Any logs to look for at my desktop's machine?).

Second problem is that I wanted the TW To be visible all the time so I only know its existence

I am atttaching below the screenshots.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Regards
Alex
