I've got an old Linksys router hanging off of my cable modem that is severa= l years old and is about to die (very poor wireless throughput should be 54= mb and is 2, runs hot, and "buzzes" while turned on). I've got an older P= C that would great as a router....however I also need it to be a wireless a= ccess point for my house. It has a PCI wireless network card (A 54G Belkin= , not sure of the exact model). I know FreeBSD is technically capable for = acting as my DHCP, DNS, router, gateway box if properly configured. The qu= estion is, can it use that wireless card to act as a access point instead o= f a client (how the card is intended to be used)? Also, any links anyone can provide on how to setup a FreeBSD box to act as = home router/gateway would be much appreciated!
