You need hostapd. Heh, I guess I have used madwifi too much :) I didn't even think of hostapd, for some strange reason I have always thought it as an optional feature. I couldn't find any instructions how to use hostapd with mac80211, so here's what I did (for the archive): o pulled latest wireless-dev#everything o pulled latest hostapd from git o compiled hostapd with these extra settings in .config: CONFIG_DRIVER_DEVICESCAPE=y WIRELESS_DEV=/home/kvalo/linux-2.6/ CFLAGS += -I$(WIRELESS_DEV)/net/mac80211 o edited hostapd.conf (wlan1 is my b43 interface): interface=wlan1 driver=devicescape hw_mode=g channel=5 o started hostapd: # ./hostapd hostapd.conf -- Kalle Valo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
