Greetings, This is my first submission to a freebsd mailing list so please bare with me. I am relatively new to Freebsd but I have so far set up a box at home acting as a gateway, firewall, and webserver with php and I'm really loving this OS (my version is 6.0). Now I would like to create an access point. I have a wireless card (Linksys wmp54gs, Broadcom 4318 chipset) I have read that I need to use ndiswrapper and windows xp drivers for it to work under Freebsd. And I need to use hostapd when configuring the card to act as an access point correct? I have found documentation on these two separate issues but nothing combining them? My question is, is it possible to use my linksys card under freebsd and set it up as an access point, or is it only possible with native drivers? I've also set up my gateway and all the computers behind it using static ips so will I still be able to make wireless work similarly? I would also like to use WPA with my wireless setup. I almost forgot, I have 2 wired nic cards in my Freebsd box the one I have connected to my inside LAN will I have to bride with my wlan card so my wireless connections can get out to the internet? Thank you all very much for your help.
