I used to use the linux-wlan-ng stuff, then after it was depricated, I
switched to the in-kernel "hostapd". Works like a champ. My Engenius
2511 (?) with 8dbi Omni antenna is my WAP and on the 10.10.10.* network,
and my LAN is the 192.168.* network. I use Shorewall to allow certain
WiFi clients through (like my notebook). Otherwise I keep it an open WAP
as a courtesy for any passers-by who might need a quick email check or
something. :)
