I've got a router based on a stripped-down, Geode LX-optimized variant of Arch Linux, on a Soekris net5501 at home. I was thinking of replacing my old Apple Airport Extreme base station, which is currently only acting in bridged mode, has an awful Mac-only (last I checked) management interface, is overpriced, etc. Unlike hostapd, it also doesn't support some nifty EAP methods (like EAP-PWD, not that your common proprietary OS has a supplicant that supports that, last I checked). I've got this, http://www.adafruit.com/products/1012, which is RTL 8192CU-based (so there is an in-tree driver that doesn't use the old WEXT, and it *does* support master mode), but could just have as well bought an Alfa AWUSO36H 1000mW adapter. Has anyone tried making their own wireless AP in such a manner before? Has anyone ever had issues with it, other than the usual issues that Wi-Fi has (like latency).
I don't expect the first adapter to be any good across floors or walls. I don't care about that scenario here. Regards, Alex Pilon _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
