What are the chances of having RealHotspot backported for F17 and F16 and available as an
update?
For F17 at least, quite good if your network card supports it. At the
moment, that means Intel 6xxx and later, ath5k, ath9k, and perhaps a few
others. Try this:
iw phy
and if under "Supported interface modes:" you see "AP", then your
card
and driver are capable of real AP mode.

None of my devices will connect using adhoc connection in my Fedora
16 installation and having a true AP hotspot would
certainly improve things tremendously.
