I want to share my eth0 internet connection via wi-fi/ I've read that I must enable adhoc. But when I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc" I get the error "Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
"
I'm running Archlinux with last KDE version, and Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) with brcmsmac driver.

And if my card doesn't support adhoc, how can I create wifi-hotspot?

Solved
I've changed driver to broadcom-wl, it supports adhoc. But... my android phone doesn't show adhoc in wifi list, so I can't connect phone to computer
