Description : setup wireless hotspot
AP-Hotspot automatically creates an infrastructure (Access Point mode)
wireless
hotspot that should work with Android and Windows Phone devices. The script
uses hostapd and dnsmasq and it requires Access Point mode support for your
wireless card - AP-Hotspot checks for this automatically and won't run
if your
wireless card doesn't support it.
- why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
providing similar functionality, how does it compare?
I use it as Connectify (windows software) replacement, it works on Debian as
well as Ubuntu. It just work for me (well, my wireless driver support ap).
Right now, I still use the script from the *.tar and copy it to /usr/bin
but I
think it will be nice to have it on Debian repository, so I can get
update of
the script the same way as other package.
This script depend on:
hostapd
dnsmasq
iw
