| 1 | MattBrown | 1 | The term WirelessEthernetBridge generally refers to a device that bridges between a WirelessEthernet segment (802.11) and a WiredEthernet segment (802.3). Generally you will have one RJ45 port and one antenna connection. |

| 12 | # Download the latest kernel source - I used 2.4.20 at the time of writing. | ||
| 13 | # Grab all relevant wireless patches to your chosen kernel from [http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html]. | ||
| 14 | # apt-get install wireless-tools | ||
| 15 | # Grab hostap from [http://hostap.epitest.fi]. I'm using version 2002-10-12. | ||
| 16 | # Grab pcmcia-cs from [http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net], and uninstall the existing package if it's installed (apt-get remove pcmcia-cs --purge). | ||
| 17 | # Unpack your kernel, and patch with the wireless extensions patches. Configure it - ensure you DISABLE pcmcia support and ENABLE wireless LAN support and 802.1d ethernet bridging. Make dep bzImage modules modules_install, install the image, and update your boot loader. | ||
| 18 | # Boot your new kernel - makes life easier! :) | ||
| 19 | # Unpack pcmcia-cs and hostap. Change into the hostap source directory, and copy drivers/* into /path/to/pcmcia-cs-x.x.x | ||
| 20 | # Change into your pcmcia-cs directory and make config, then make all, then make install. | ||
| 21 | # Edit /etc/defaults/pcmcia and add PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=1 fast_pci=1' | ||
| 22 | # Edit /etc/modutils/aliases and add alias wlan0 hostap_cs, then run update-modules. | ||
| 23 | # OK, /etc/init.d/pcmcia start should now start your WL200 in AP mode! :) You can modify the startup options in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts | ||
