Hello! Sorry for digging out this old conversation, but i found the time to play with dnsmasq a bit.
Sunils suggestion is correct, there is one tiny problem though. NetworkManager will start dnsmasq with this commandline: --conf-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d So the hosts.conf has to be put in dnsmasq-shared.d. Then the issue with ip-adresses will come up, as this file is shared among multiple interfaces. And i have not been able to get NetworkManager to use the wifi-card in infrastructure mode, connecting the wired network (i.e. eth0) to the wireless network. Any ideas would also be appreciated!
