You can find > my saga here: > http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/hardware/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.html maybe the sub-thing makes here more troubles as usually but what can i say since i have never installed such a setup i would generally pefer a pci-card, here a 3 slots free and the cards with three antennas are looking fine what i found some minutes ago: http://old.tuxorials.de/linux-tipps/allgemeingueltig/52-wlan-accesspoint-mit-hostapd.html this sounds quite easy and only a good wlan-card is the missing piece and some iptables-stuff, but iptables is not really difficult for me > One thing I found with the USB dongle was that I had to > disable NetworkManager, or it would try and grab the wlan > interface and set it up as a client. well, this is not the problem, i never use networkmanager the machine has two GBE-network-cards one is the public interface and additionally a vmware-bridge for two virtual machines and the other one for the local network a hughe ip-tables-script does routing/masquerading as also route a permanently active openvpn-connection and my vmware-nat into the LAN, blocks china and russia, so this machine does all i need perfectly and that is why i want to replace the "old" hardware-wlan-router with a 8-port-switch lying around here and finally have my whole IT in one box if there is fire take it and run, sip-phone, keyboard and screen you can buy everywhere later :-) speaking about a brand new Core(TM) i7-2600 with 16 GB RAM and 4x2 TB as RAID10 there should be no need for additional hardware the next years :-) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 3C:D9:2B:65:95:9F inet Adresse:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:223032 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:195107 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:41146088 (39.2 MiB) TX bytes:70225632 (66.9 MiB) Interrupt:20 Speicher:fe700000-fe720000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:8D:B5:CC:DE inet Adresse:84.113.45.179 Bcast:84.113.45.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:27454880 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14550464 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:24185678885 (22.5 GiB) TX bytes:3678721888 (3.4 GiB) Interrupt:16 Speicher:fe6c0000-fe6e0000 lo Link encap:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8590537 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8590537 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:7682947490 (7.1 GiB) TX bytes:7682947490 (7.1 GiB) tap0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse A2:EB:CE:2F:48:A8 inet Adresse:10.0.0.241 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:707920 errors:0 dropped:19384 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:748660 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:100 RX bytes:242962206 (231.7 MiB) TX bytes:65362520 (62.3 MiB) vmnet8 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:56:C0:00:08 inet Adresse:192.168.196.1 Bcast:192.168.196.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:651835 errors:0 dropped:36 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:582388 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:
