ok, I got it working without encryption. Here is what I did I configured |
| 2 |
my kernel according to these webpages... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
http://madwifi.org/wiki/Requirements |
| 5 |
and |
| 6 |
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/KernelConfig |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
...then I configured my system as follows... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1)Add madwifi to USE flags |
| 11 |
2)emerge wpa_supplicant |
| 12 |
3)emerge madwifi-ng and madwifi-ng-tools |
| 13 |
4)cp net.eth0 net.ath0 |
| 14 |
5)rc-update add net.ath0 default |
| 15 |
6)nano /etc/modprobe.d/ath_pci and add the following... |
| 16 |
options ath_pci autocreate=ap |
| 17 |
7)add the following to /etc/conf.d/local.start |
| 18 |
ifconfig ath0 down |
| 19 |
wlanconfig ath0 destroy |
| 20 |
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
8)nano /etc/conf.d/net and add |
| 23 |
mode_ath0="Master" |
| 24 |
essid_ath0="CarsonNet" |
| 25 |
config_ath0=( "192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" ) |
| 26 |
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then I configured dhcpd and bind which I won't get into and it all worked. |
| 29 |
I now have a wireless access point with Gentoo! |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
So my question now is, how do I enable WPA encryption? |
