The process of adding support is drop dead simple and can be done in less than a minute. only 2 packages are required + a couple extra commands if required.
- If you're using the default MX init called SysVinit, you only need to run items 1 and 4
- If you're using the optional MX init called SystemD, then you'll need to run all 4 commands
- If you're unsure, go ahead and run all 4, the 2nd and 3rd will only produce errors and have no adverse effects if you're using MX defaults
1) sudo apt install dnsmasq
2) sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
3) sudo update-rc.d dnsmasq remove
4) reboot
If you're unsure, go ahead and run all 4, the 2nd and 3rd will only produce errors and otherwise have no effect if you're using SysVinit.

Additional note: some wireless cards or devices do not support being used as a wifi hotspot. Please check first. Some may not specifically say they support hotspotting but may work nevertheless.
