Haven't used Mint 15 myself, but, you can right click on the Network Manager icon in your panel and select Edit Connections.
You will see a option 'Hotspot' under the Wi-Fi section. Edit that and you can set the SSID, the type of security(WEP/ WPA2) and the key.
Best Answer
If you have wired connection, then do this:
Go to "Network Connections" from bottom-corner networking icon.
Click on "Add" and choose "Wi-Fi" option.
Give the connection name (to adapter not SSID).
Provide a name of your hotspot in SSID field.
Set mode to Hotspot.
Open the terminal and type
ifconfig(make sure your wireless in on) and there will be usually 3 subsections. Find where it says something like "wl01" and look for "HWaddr". You should have something like74:de:3c:5i:1e:17. Copy that address and paste in "Device".Go to "Wi-Fi Security" and choose "WPA & WPA2 personal" or any type of security of your preference and set up a good password.
Now, go to "IPv4 Settings" and set the "Mode" to "Shared to other computers".
Save your settings and connect your hotspot from "Connect to Hidden Network..." and you're done.
