Steps to reproduce:

1) Click on "Settings"
2) Go to "Internet sharing"
3) There is a Wi-fi hotspot option

I think it will be useful if we able support STA+AP or USB sharing network from/to host in future.

Indeed, it is almost no benefit at the moment.

However, the host of user still can connect to the Tablet via the wifi hotspot feature, without Internet, but it constitute a LAN, maybe there will be particular purpose at the moment or future, like files sharing via wifi LAN.
