In looking back through some of the meeting minutes I saw that RealHotspot has been approved for Fedora 18.

What are the chances of having RealHotspot backported for F17 and F16 and available as an update?
For F17 at least, quite good if your network card supports it. At the
moment, that means Intel 6xxx and later, ath5k, ath9k, and perhaps a few
others. Try this:
iw phy
and if under "Supported interface modes:" you see "AP", then your card
and driver are capable of real AP mode.
Dan
None of my devices will connect using adhoc connection in my Fedora 16 installation and having a true AP hotspot would
certainly improve things tremendously.
.
Thanks Dan.
# iw list | sed -n '/Supported interface modes/,/AP/p'
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
Looks like I'm good as far as my card and driver.
Just hoping for a backport to F16 since I have one of those nvidia video cards that couldn't run F17.
This project is awesome, I need it to connect my android !, and I will
try follow it. I don't know what is need but we always can get all
packages from 18 and compile in 16.
Now I run hostapd which long time in Fedora especially for my wife's
Android deviсe which do not allow connect AdHoc without root environment.
About nvidia , if you are talking about property driver , rpmfusion just
built new drivers , about 6 hours ago.
Thanks,
