I wanted to use my Ubuntu laptop here as a hotspot for my Kindle (v3.3) But when I scan the wireless network on my Kindle and select to connect to the ubuntu wireless hotspot, then my kindle says its an unsupported Wi-Fi network:
Enterprise or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi networks are not supported...What can I do to make it work, my laptop has a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] eth1

Most wireless hotspots created using a wireless adapter are not true "infrastructure" access points but are "ad-hoc" peer-to-peer networks.
Unfortunately, as the error indicates, the Kindle does not support ad-hoc or enterprise networks, only the "infrastructure" kind which is usually created with a wireless router or wireless access point.
Maybe this document could help you? However, I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble...
