Using ubuntu phone for my daily stuff now since near 2 months on nexus 4, currently on release 165.
I would like to create an access point with my uphone to connect my laptop with, but yet I don't see any option to make this happen.
Is this feature available or officially planned or is there a CLI hack to manage this?
Anyway, I would like to see some changelog or roadmap on the releases, so I am able to Test newly implemented features and/or bugs.

There is support for USB tethering, meaning you have to connect the phone to your PC with an USB cable to access the internet. You can enable USB tethering by entering
in Terminal. This will disable MTP (USB file access). You can re-enable MTP by entering
From what I've read, USB tethering should "Just Work" with Windows and Ubuntu machines.
There is no UI that I know of for controlling USB or WiFi tethering.
