Creating a Wireless Access Point

Hey guys,

My wireless router just died, my linux server has a wireless card in it and I've read that you can use this as a router - is there any documentation on how to do this? I have no clue where to start..

Re: Creating a Wireless Access Point

What wireless card do you have ?
If it is an Atheros card, you can use the madwifi driver to run an Access Point.
Check this link: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AccessPointInterface
