I've never done this before. What should I do to apply the patch? well?! install the "patch" utility with your distribuation's package system... now you can run something like: patch -d /path-to-wireless-dev/ -p1 < /path-to/006-allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch to apply the patch 006-allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch to the wireless-dev tree... BTW, you should take a look at the documentation & manuals of "patch" too, run "man patch" or ask google (e.g http://linux.die.net/man/1/patch, http://www.linuxhq.com/patch-howto.html )... > > > For the userspace: you have to compile the _cutting-edge_ hostapd (afaik > > 0.6.4 git), you'll need it even for a unencrypted network! > > Looking here: > > http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/ > > The latest I see is 0.6.3 -- will that do? AFAIK not with the current wireless-dev... you have to get the "git-tree" ( "git-clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git" ) see http://hostap.epitest.fi/cvs.html and "man git / man git-clone" for further instructions and examples.
