[HostAP] is a [Kernel] [Module] that works with wireless network cards based on the Intersil Prism chipset. Version 1 cards are not supported, but the vast bulk of cards are prism 2, 2.5 or 3. This kernel module is for [Linux], and replaces orinoco_cs and hermes. It allows your linux box to act as an access point, and offloads a lot of the framing work to the NIC's firmware, rather than doing it all in software. This is the script CraigFalconer uses to start [HostAP]: <verbatim> killall -9 hostapd ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0ap down rmmod hostap_cs rmmod hostap rmmod hostap_crypt_wep rmmod hostap_crypt modprobe hostap_cs modprobe hostap_crypt_wep ifconfig wlan0 192.168.99.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.99.255 iwconfig wlan0 nick nicknameforaccesspoint key s:yourwepkeyhere hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf & </verbatim> See also: * [Howto | http://www.goonda.org/wireless/prism2/] * [Info on Driver | http://hostap.epitest.fi/] * [Debian]'s [hostap-utils package | http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/hostap-utils.html] * [Short list of Prism cards | http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/Prism2Card] * [Massively long list of wireless cards and their Linux support | http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html4.html]
