Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
you might want to have a look here for choosing the hardware: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers an in column "AP" set it to yes. |
| 6 |
Once you have the driver, you can search for compatible hardware. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Usually, Atheros-chips should be a good way to go, although there are |
| 9 |
different versions of them (and some of them wont go to AP-mode). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I tried to accomplish the same with several USB-devices and hostap. I |
| 12 |
managed getting up an Software-802.11n access-point, but the throughput was |
| 13 |
kinda bad so I got back to the WLAN provided by the DSL-Router. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Hope this helps at least a bit. |
| 16 |
Regards, |

Betreff: [gentoo-user] requirements for a gentoo wlan accesspoint |

Hi people! |
| 26 |
I want to make my linux machine being a wlan access point for my other |
| 27 |
components like Notebook, Cell phone etc... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Now the big question, what do I need to accomplish this?! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
like a wlan router where I would get a WPA2 key, I want the linux machine to |
| 33 |
act as a wlan router who offers WPA2 encrpytion. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
for any response I would thank you. |
