I used to use the linux-wlan-ng stuff, then after it was depricated, I |
| 2 |
switched to the in-kernel "hostapd". Works like a champ. My Engenius |
| 3 |
2511 (?) with 8dbi Omni antenna is my WAP and on the 10.10.10.* network, |
| 4 |
and my LAN is the 192.168.* network. I use Shorewall to allow certain |
| 5 |
WiFi clients through (like my notebook). Otherwise I keep it an open WAP |
| 6 |
as a courtesy for any passers-by who might need a quick email check or |
| 7 |
something. :) |
