Hi all, I've found instructions for using Network Manager 0.7 to share an internet connection via the following configurations: wired -> wireless [0], and wireless -> wired [1]. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any documentation on how to share an internet connection between two wireless NIC's (turning the box into a repeater), and, it's not obvious to me how one would set this up.
The reason for my confusion is that it does not appear as though Network Manager allows you to configure a wireless profile specific to a particular NIC. You would need to have two distinct profiles for each NIC: one profile/NIC to connect to a particular access point, and one profile/NIC to re-broadcast the connection. Network Manager appears to glom all wireless configurations together. I feel I must be missing something though, because I'm sure this is a somewhat common use case that the creators of Network Manager would have forseen and implemented. I'd greatly appreciate any guidance anyone can provide.
