I don't really know much about running a wifi interface in AP mode on |
| 16 |
Linux. I have an ASUS WL-330gE plugged into an interface on my Linux |
| 17 |
router, where it serves as a simple AP. My router handles routing and |
| 18 |
firewalling from there. |

I *do* know that some wifi chipsets support running in AP mode, and some |
| 21 |
don't. I don't know which. |
