           Summary: No way to share internet connection out-of-box
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ramiel at cheapnet.it


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I need to share my internet connection from wired lan to wireless lan but in
knetwrokmanager there's no way to do it in simple way.
Let me show you to explain how this work on mac os x.
Mac os settings ask me the source of internet connection (wired in my case) and
the distributor (wirless,called airport on mac).In addition I had to specify
name of ad-hoc connection and security stuff.Then the system think on activate
dhcp and to set all firewall rules.I don't own a mac but a time I saw this and
it was too simple,hiding non-foundamental information as dhcp and firewall to
user.It could be easy realizing the same with knetworkmanager including a
expert-user section to specify dhcp and iptable rules.
