Using my Atheros card as a wifi repeater

I have an Ubiquiti wifi card that I would like to use as a wireless repeater so that my handheld can connect to a hotspot that is out of range for it's card.  How would I do this?

Hi

Check this page: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/MultipleInterfaces
Then you could setup some iptables script which does ip-masquerading for you (there might be other solutions)
And if you want to encrypt the traffic on your master mode interface - use hostapd (you can find some hostap tutorial on the madwifi page)

Say, did you succeed? I'm interested in  doing something similar.
