Hello,

I have as project to make a wireless accesspoint with my ALpine + Alix board hardware .
My Wireless card is a Atheros AR2413 802.11bg . This seems fine supported . At least the Alpine already loads the driver and shows up a wlan0 interface.

I’ll need 3 packages for managing the AP :

Links to the tools (stable versions) :

- wireless-tools : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean\_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
download : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean\_Tourrilhes/Linux/wireless\_tools.29.tar.gz

- hostapd : http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/
download : http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/hostapd-0.6.9.tar.gz

To secure the AP :

- wpa_supplicant : http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa\_supplicant/
download : http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa\_supplicant-0.6.9.tar.gz

Let me know if i missed something .

I ll hope to test the package soon :p

Regards

Nicolas
