Hi Todd, hi Mick, !YEAH! It works! create_ap did it! I have access to the internet on my tablet just by fireing up create_ap. There is one advantage of create_ap (beside creating a /working/ ap, which I was not able to...;) over the setup below /etc: One can give it an temporary SSID and password on the commandline - every configuration is temporary. In my case this is very handy, since I only need the AP for transferring files from and to my tablet. Makes the thing /a little/ more secure...a /little/. Still I have to figure out: 1) What create_ap does differently (and more correctly). 2) How I can assign a static IP to my tablet. 3) How I can change the MAC on my tablet. Thanks for all your help and patience! :) 8) Best regards, Meino
