Well, I think I've got everything going to make my modified RH9 machine an access point, but I'm not sure what I'm missing.<BR>
<BR>
Hardware is a Orinoco (Lucent) Gold 11Mbit card plugged into a PC-to-PCI adapter.<BR>
<BR>
I've upgraded to 2.6.4smp kernel, the latest iptables, 0.1.3 of the hostap driver and installed the latest wirelss tools. To get the card to recognize the hostap driver from pcmcia-cs startup, I had to modify my /etc/pcmcia/config and comment-out the following:<BR>
<BR>
#card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"<BR>
# version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"<BR>
# bind "orinoco_cs"<BR>
<BR>
I then added this to my /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf:<BR>
<BR>
card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"<BR>
version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"<BR>
bind "hostap_cs"<BR>
<BR>
The following is the output of when pcmcia-cs (cardmgr) is started:<BR>

So, now onto my problem....My goal here is to make this machine a wireless access point/router. It's functioning fine on the wired-side for routing (masq), but not doing anything on the wireless side. I set an IP on the wlan0 interface of 192.168.1.1, setup DHCPd to listen on that iface, and I never get any requests coming across.<BR>
<BR>
My wireless clients see the sumner ESSID and seem to be able to connect to it, but I'm not really sure if that's working either properly.<BR>
