Can someone point me to a document so I can set up a gentoo laptop with
a built in ipw2200 wireless as an access point using wpa ???

I need to use it for a demo of some wireless 802.11 phones.  Looking at
the conf.d/net file doesnt show what I need to fill out to get a working
access point.

Or is this best done manually (iwconfig and wpa_supplicant)

Look on www.gentoo-wiki.com, not sure if the IPW2200 card will act as an 
access point or not. i know I set up just want you are looking for at 
one point in time on a prisum2.5 card.

The drivers in the kernel and the ipw2200 ebuild don't support master mode.

This project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipw2200-ap adds master mode 
support for ipw2200 cards although I have no idea what state it is in.

It's not in portage but there are probably ebuilds floating around somewhere 
for it.
