Allow WiFi => Ethernet hotspots, and Ethernet => Ethernet hotspots.

Currently, you can connect via Ethernet, and serve out the hotspot via WiFi.... i.e. Ethernet => WiFi.

It would be great if you could also do:

WiFi => Ethernet

Ethernet => Ethernet

I especially want to serve out Ethernet hotspots, due to security issues with wireless, i.e. a hacked endpoint computer could find out your local WiFi router, and other wireless devices in the house, and thus, identify you.

You could implement this as a menu, something like a checkbox where you can choose:

[ X ] Ethernet => WiFi

[ ] WiFi => Ethernet

[ ] Ethernet => Ethernet

It would also be nice if you could choose from ifconfig names, for those of us whose wireless isn't named "wlan0" and ethernet isn't named "eth0"

For example, I am using QUBES OS, and my Ethernet is called "enp0s1", and my WiFi is called "wlp0s0"

Thanks

That was great for me too :D (and at this time i really search for something for "WiFi => Ethernet" ) And about that it will be fine when you add WiFi => Wifi (as Wifi repeater)

Pls, do it! Thanks you very much!

(sry for my bad english)
