This is an example how to turn your computer into an accesspoint for wireless networks. It is based on SUSE Linux 11.4 but should work same or similar for every distribution. We will use the software HostAPD for this.
what you need
- a Linux kernel, greater than about 2.6.30
- a Linux computer that has a bridge br0 as networking device
- a USB wireless adapter, in this example we use a Conceptronic device with a RaLink chipset
Life is short, and this article saved vaualble time on this Earth.
