Dell Inspiron 15 3000 hotspot not working
A few days ago I purchased a new Dell Inspiron 15 3567 series, with Ubuntu preloaded on it (did not want to pay Micros@ft's toll);)
WiFi is working, but when a hotspot is initiated to share the wired connection (not really, it is a Huawei modem), the following error is produced:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 07)I checked and the firmware seems to be loading correctly. *UPDATE The firmware seems to be the problem. Do not know how to solve it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
*UPDATE
After doing a:
sudo iw reg set IS (<---country code)The output is:

In order to create a wireless network that other computers can connect to, you need a minimum of 2 wireless adapters, you can get another one by buying a usb dongle, they are usually pretty cheap, around 7 dollars. Once that's done you can follow this tutorial:
Hope this helped!
