How to turn laptop into wifi hotspot

[surjagain]

Installed the Linux Mint KDE 12 on a Lenovo G570. I use a 3G USB modem to connect to the internet. I have a tablet which can connect to the internet using Wifi. Windows 7 enables me to turn the laptop into a Virtual Router and use it as a wifi hotspot. How can I do this using KDE?

(KDE uses a different network manager to Gnome).

Do i need to install the Gnome Network Manager?

I have not done it with the KDE network manager, but it should be possible.

That article seems to be about Ubuntu/Mint with Gnome 3 (for example, there's no such option in Gnome 2.3x/MATE control panel), so I guess you'll have to search for KDE-specific article separately.

Hei Monsta, I am running KDE and I can see all the options referred to in the article.

Hmm, I thought those screenshots were from Gnome... so I spoke just in case.
