On second thought, I agree with you.

Then, I change plan for my home network.

It remain as is, that is:
My ISP
|-- Cable modem
.....|-- Bubba 2, the headless power pc box with WAN ( eth0 -- to my ISP),
.........LAN ( eth1 -- to my home LAN wired network ) and
.........USB WiFi dongle as Access Point ( wlan0 -- to my home wireless LAN: 
WLAN)

The new in this configuration is the WLAN part.

I'm trying configure the wlan0 as AP with hostapd.

I reached my goal almost.
I just can't to see my SSID on my mobile phone when I started the
hostapd.

May be caused this by a firewall?

I have no setup yet for wlan0 at all.

I plan to make it it's own zone.
