To make your wireless card act as an access point: iwconfig wlan0 mode master check out man iwconfig for the rest of what you need. Be aware that not all chipsets support all the features. Look at the features of your card's driver. One card I used very successfully as an AP was the prism54 chip (prism54 module). But as far as I remember it doesn't do WPA. Atheros chips do both. In fact, they're often used in access points. Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
