From : what I have read it sounds like I cannot use this and must use a wireless : card that is PCMCIA to PCI. Am I correct or can I use my existing PCI card : for the AP on the gateway? I think that you are mistaken. As long as it is a card that the wi driver regocnizes, and it uses the prism 2, prism 2.5 or prism 3 chipsets, you should be OK. I've used native PCI cards in hostap mode while I was merging the hostap changes.
