Okay, folks, I can't figure this out: How do I use Ubuntu Edgy to create
a wireless network?
I have a laptop. eth0 is wired and connected to my network. ifconfig
reports it as 192.168.1.3. I can ping, DNS, etc. from that laptop to
the outside world via 192.168.1.3.
Run firestarter wizard. All device detected. Set internet to eth0.
Enable internet connection sharing. Local area device eth1. Good.
Enable DHCP for local network. Create new DHCP configuration. Hand out
addresses from 10.0.2.2 to 10.0.2.100.
Save and start firewall now.
ifconfig -a reports eth1 is 10.0.2.1 with a mask of 255.255.255.0
ping 10.0.2.1 works from the laptop.
No wireless network appears.
iwconfig lists eth1 as unassociated. ESSID of nds Nickname: "ipw2100"
Mode: managed Channel=0 Access Point: Not-Associated
Anybody have some advice?
Confirm what I think you are trying to do: use the laptop as a
wireless access point, connecting to the wired network 192.168.1.xxx
and creating a wireless network 10.0.2.xxx,
to be called up from some other wireless device.

If that is the case, I don't think it can be done with IPW2100/IP2200 as
those chipsets currently can't be configured as a host AP. For other
chipsets, I think you need to run HostAP also (which doesn't work with
the IPW2100/2200).
