What I'm trying to do is the following:
a laptop L1, with an 802.11 PC card, connects to an Access point AP1, which is connected to the internet. L1 also joins an ad-hoc network, on the same channel as AP1, also joined by a second laptop L2. L2 can talk to L1 over the ad-hoc network, but cannot talk to AP1. When the second laptop wants to send packets out to the internet, it would route through the laptop L1 by sending packets on the ad-hoc network, which L1 would then send out through AP1:
L2 <--- ah-hoc ---> L1 <---- managed/AP mode ----> AP1 <--- internet
Now, this is very simple to do if L1 has TWO PC cards. One joins the ad-hoc network, and the other one connects to the AP. But I want to do it with a single PC card. Of course, this will most likely force me to have the ad-hoc network be on the same channel as the AP, but that's Ok.
Essentially, this is a one-radio repeater.
Any idea how to do this (on Linux, BSD, or any other system) ?
