How to configure my AR2413 802.1bg wireless card as an Access Point?

Hi, guys. I bought a TP-Link WNG550 wireless card which has an AR2413 chipset. The ath5k module has been loaded and I think this card can work now.

My question is: Lots of articles are discussing how to config the wireless card in a wireless network, but I wanna config my wireless card as an Access Point(AP) which can provide services to other computers. How to do it? Thanks.

man iwconfig says:

# iwconfig ath0 mode Master

if you need WPA, try any internet search engine ;P

otherwise, buy an AP/router on which you can run dd-wrt or OpenWRT
