Dear All, Now I use my Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA card under my FC4 kernel's support. It can be an Ad-Hoc site very well. But I want to make it to be an AP. I have found in older drivers such as linux-wlan-ng-0.1.8, there is a wlan-ng.opts file which can control the driver's working mode, some scripts in it can help to make an AP: #=======AP START====================================== # If IS_AP is 'y', then the following settings will be # used in the creation of a BSS with this station acting # as the AP. If IS_AP is 'n', these settings are ignored. IS_AP=n # y|n IS_BRIDGE=n # Are we a bridging AP? IS_OLDBRIDGE=n # Which kernel bridge code are we using? APWIREDDEVICE=eth0 # Must be an ethernet device APBRIDGEDEVICE=apbr0 # Bridge interface name AP_IPADDR=192.168.200.150 # Bridge IP address (and only bridge) APSSID="linux-wlan" # SSID the AP will use, max 32 chars APBCNINT=100 # Beacon interval (in Kus) APDTIMINT=3 # DTIM interval (in beacons) APCFPOLLABLE=false # AP's CFP support (see table below) APCFPOLLREQ=false # AP's CFP support (see table below) APCFPPERIOD=3 # CFP period, if CFP enabled(in beacons) APCFPMAXDURATION=100 # CFP max length (in Kus) APPROBEDELAY=100 # Not currently used APCHANNEL=6 # DS channel for BSS (1-14, depends # on regulatory domain) APBASICRATES="2 4" # Rates for mgmt&ctl frames (in 500Kb/s) APOPRATES="2 4 11 22" # Supported rates in BSS (in 500Kb/s) But now, there are no such a "wlan-ng.opts" file in 0.2.1pre26. So, How can I use this newer driver to set my card as an AP? Thank you for any hint. -- Bob
