This allows a FreeBSD machine with a Prism2 wireless interface to act as an AP. I've got it hobbling along so I thought I'd share my work so far. One problem is I can't get WEP to work when you put the Prism 2 in this (host AP) mode. It looks like the Linux Host AP driver (developer) ran into the same problem. I'm looking around for some secret switch to get it to work. I put a tarfile on my web page: http://www.skibo.net/hostap.tgz You need to use the "save link as..." button on your browser to get it (no ftp with my Pacbell hosted page). Keep in mind this is highly EXPERIMENTAL.
