Subject: [gentoo-user] WiFi access point with iwl3945
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2009 13:21:12 +0800	[thread overview]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my laptop to be a wireless access point. It has
an iwl3945 card. I followed the "Atheros Ath5k Wireless Access Point"
article on gentoo-wiki.com[1] before realizing that it was Atheros
specific.

Part of the setup uses hostapd[2]. Looking at this, it's not
immediately clear that iwlwifi is supported.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to use hostapd with iwlwifi
drivers? Is there an alternative access point software I can use?

Thanks,
Mike
