I see in the man page for ath, and assume much would apply to other wireless adapters,Create an 802.11g host-based access point: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_ap \ mode 11g but would the access point, with wired connection, have or use the wireless adapter?
"hostap" is to make a FreeBSD system with a wireless card into a wireless router.
Access point, if I understand correctly, would have a wired connection, such as cable or DSL, and the other computer, with the wireless adapter, would have the Atheros or other wireless adapter.
No, a router generally has at least two network interfaces. A FreeBSD wireless router would have both wired and wireless interfaces.
