I have seen searched a lot about sharing internet of computer to Android device (when the computer is connected to the internet via wi-fi not lan- Ethernet)

here are some of the links that helped me, But I have not got a way to figure out the way.

I have also tried out reverse-tethering via usb but it seems to be working only if I am connected via Ethernet not over wi-fi

My computer has single wi-fi card

How to share internet to other devices through wifi:

I'll suggest you the method that worked for me and my friends.
install kde-nm-connection manager. details on how to install & setup
This should work. If not do as follows:

  • disable the wifi driver from "Additional Drivers" in System Settings (skip to last step if there are no wifi drivers shown already)
  • restart you computer
  • now we will be installing a non-free firmware wifi driver. copy paste this command and restart you computer: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree After installing this you can try to setup the hotspot again.

  • I question was not about problem with wifi, I was asking how to share internet over when my computer is connected to internet via wifi – Tummala Dhanvi Nov 14 '14 at 06:53

  • No what my question is how to share internet with android when I am on wifi, this can be done in windows using virtual router or connetify @edward torvalds – Tummala Dhanvi Dec 12 '14 at 05:55
  • @dhanvi I dont think you can use internet via wifi and share internet via wifi at same time. are you sure ? let me check it on windows – Alex Jones Dec 12 '14 at 07:50
  • yes I am sure @edward torvalds [virtual router](http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/) also [connetify-me](http://www.connectify.me/) both of them can do it in windows – Tummala Dhanvi Dec 14 '14 at 05:37
  • @dhanvi give me time to investigate. it may take some time coz i have exams now. i will find the answer to it and show it to u :) – Alex Jones Dec 14 '14 at 07:35
  • btw edward torvalds also see the two links that I have mentioned in the question they might help you, I wish there exists an application like virtual router to linux :) – Tummala Dhanvi Dec 15 '14 at 08:41
