28 Hi Joost,
29
30 I fired up create_ip like this (just for testing and haveing at least
31 ONE experienced succes with this Wifi stuff...):
32
33 create_ap wlan0 eth1 <name> <pass>
34
35 How can I check for the type of WIFI after the connection has been
36 established?
37
38 USB is USB 2.0
39
40 The speed is measured by conky, which reads the transfer rate at eth0.
41 At that tome, the tablet was getting a greater piece of tar archive
42 (LInux for Android) and no other traffic other than this was there.
43 The DSL was by far not saturated.
44 So physically it is the speed of the internet but logically it is
45 nearly identical to what happens at the Wifi interface (I think).
46 I will check for an app which displays the speed measured on the
47 tablets interface...
48
49 Best regards,
50 Meino
