  9. sudo reboot now
  10. now connect to a wifi network using the new network manager you will find the task bar

  11. edit the ethernet configuration and from the ipv4 settings tab change the method to “Share to other computers”
    network-manager-connections
    network-manager-editing
  12. connect a pc over ethernet port of the raspberry and enjoy the internet connection took from a wifi hotspot

  1. Wow, it worked! How unusual to populate a few data fields, click a few buttons, and be done… in Linux. Without the NetworkManager, I’d be pouring through man pages, PDFs, web searches, and endless tutorials. I’d probably muck it up so good I’d have to reinstall to start over. It would be days wasted. This tip made Linux work as well as a commercial product. Nicely done.

  2. Any chance there’s an equally straightforward way to make a Pi into an easily configured DHCP and Proxy server? 😀

  3. Excellent, thanks for this! Far more elegant and secure solution than the first few search results that essentially amount to “just trust me bro and copy/paste these bash scripts.”
