Hello everyone, Here is my setup:
- Gentoo 2007.0, x86; - a Broadcom BCM4308 rev 3 chipset (PCI card), PCI ID 14e4:4320; - vanilla 2.6.25 kernel; - firwmare downloaded and "cut" as instructed on the b43 page at linuxwireless.org. The machine on which the card is also has a GBit Ethernet interface, and serves as a DHCP server. My goal: - making this card an AP, using hostapd (with the nl80211 driver, I guess); - including the Ethernet card and the BCM in a bridge setup (it works already, but no access point yet). My main gripe right now is that I cannot iwconfig wlan0 mode master. The b43 page says it doesn't work, lacking proper support in mac80211 and hostapd. I'm quite a rookie with AP setups. This card otherwise works fine in managed and ad-hoc mode. I'm willing to "donate" some of my time answering questions/reading documentation/testing everything you like. I have plenty of time right now, so feel free to ask me questions!
