Hi,=20

you might want to have a look here for choosing the hardware:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers an in column "AP" set it to =
yes.
Once you have the driver, you can search for compatible hardware.

Usually, Atheros-chips should be a good way to go, although there are
different versions of them (and some of them wont go to AP-mode).

I tried to accomplish the same with several USB-devices and hostap. I
managed getting up an Software-802.11n access-point, but the throughput =
was
kinda bad so I got back to the WLAN provided by the DSL-Router.

Hope this helps at least a bit.=20
Regards,
Ralf

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

Hi people!
I want to make my linux machine being a wlan access point for my other
components like Notebook, Cell phone etc...


Now the big question, what do I need to accomplish this?!

like a wlan router where I would get a WPA2 key, I want the linux =
machine to
act as a wlan router who offers WPA2 encrpytion.


for any response I would thank you.
