Connect Androind phone wtih arch laptop via Wifi

Hello,

How can I connect my android smartphone to internet via Laptop with ethernet connection.

I am using network manager applet. I use option "Create new wireless network ...", but my Phone can't see this network. Another laptop is able to see this network and is able to ping me.
I know that android phones have some issues with ad hoc networks, but is there any way how can I share internet connection to my Phone?

hostapd works great for me - there's a wiki page, but I found this howto more thorough.
