Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I've been trying for a while, and failing, to get a hotspot working on
my (testing) desktop, so my phone can connect through it.

At first, it was a problem with autentication. But that has been solved
now. The phone connects to the access points, and once I added
kdeconnect as a service to the shared-zone configuration on the
firewall, I can use that -- but I don't get access to the internet. I
don't get it even when the firewall is off.

When I look at it at kernel level:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/forwarding

prints just a series of "1"s.

I had suspected it might have something to do with earlier messing with
the hotspot connection. So I deleted it and created a new one. No
change. The way I created it was with the "Hotspot" button in the
network panel applet.

This bug report is submitted following advice given on the
debian-kde list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2025/05/msg00012.html

There you can also see an image showing exactly the button in the
panel applet referred to above: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2025/05/pngk5Az5p3DJ2.png

Thanks,
Shai.
