The article neglects to : point out that you can't run an Orinoco card in AP mode unless you've : uploaded the right firmware onto the card... something that if_wi : doesn't know how to do. : : AFAIK if_wiap is required - and that's not freely available. I'm confused as well. Maybe it is the old "cheater" way of having a pseudo access point with routing. Also if_wiap is required for Lucent cards. if_wiap isn't available (free or not as far I know). For prism2 cards if_wi will support them in host access point mode, once all the kinks are ironed out.
