I have exactly the same problem. I cannot figure out how can the WiFi hotspot work on Ubuntu.
My results from ifconfig is
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

and my result from the iwconfig
Code:

I get these results while i have activated the wifi hotspot function of Ubuntu. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and my wireless card is Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030.
Thanks in advance
