Anubhav, thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, the two WiFi adapters on my
laptop do not support AP mode either. However, I did find the script
interesting. I followed the web page you provided, and went back to the
original post which inspired the script you suggested, which is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009381
From that page, I learned how to enable NAT forwarding. So now my cellphone
can access internet through my laptop, which the laptop is set in Ad-Hoc
mode.
Ralf, you are not hijacking anything. Ralex bud.
Gian, than you for the help. However, since my WiFi adapters do not support
AP mode, I guess hostapd is not for my laptop in this case.
Cheers,
Xianwen

Thank you,
I'm not the OP and don't want to capture the thread, but I guess it's
ok, since it's the same issue.
After startup the LED of my USB Wi-Fi should flash, it did when I used
*buntu, but doesn't for my Debian install.
