# Download the latest kernel source - I used 2.4.20 at the time of writing.
-
# Grab all relevant wireless patches to your chosen kernel from [http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html].
-
# apt-get install wireless-tools
-
# Grab hostap from [http://hostap.epitest.fi]. I'm using version 2002-10-12.
-
# Grab pcmcia-cs from [http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net], and uninstall the existing package if it's installed (apt-get remove pcmcia-cs --purge).
-
# 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.
-
# Boot your new kernel - makes life easier! :)
-
# Unpack pcmcia-cs and hostap. Change into the hostap source directory, and copy drivers/* into /path/to/pcmcia-cs-x.x.x
-
# Change into your pcmcia-cs directory and make config, then make all, then make install.
-
# Edit /etc/defaults/pcmcia and add PCIC_OPTS='irq_mode=1 fast_pci=1'
-
# Edit /etc/modutils/aliases and add alias wlan0 hostap_cs, then run update-modules.
-
# 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
-
# To create a bridge, modify /etc/networking/interfaces:
auto br0%%%
iface br0 inet static%%%
