Hi List,

I'd like to create a temporary hotspot using an other wireless network which is already there.
My kids have some devices (like Nintendo DS) which are only capable using WEP.
So I want to create a temporary hotspot which I can filter on my own.

Years ago I was able to do such a configuration, but this was before mac80211 (I was then often on trade fairs, with very costly wlan-tariffs...).

Problem is: I get an error about a network name already exist - either on hostapd and wpa_supplicant - everytime the last program started.


You need to change the mac address of the second device once you create it.
