Subject: [gentoo-user] wpc54g card as AP -- works?

Hi,

I wanted to provide wireless connection to the internet for other laptops at 
home. 
To do this, one laptop is connected via eth0 and wlan0 should work as AP to 
all others.
I have been following the HOWTO:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Building_a_Wireless_Access_Point_With_Gentooand
trying to find solution in forums... but I can't get it working.
The wireless card is working with ndiswrapper.
When I try to set it to Master, I get this:
# iwconfig wlan0 mode Master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
 SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

Does this means that the card is unable to perform the task I want, or what 
am I doing wrong?
Is there any other HOWTO with better instructions? Or anyone that can 
provide me a step-by-step configuration?

Thanks in advance.
Fernando.
