Wireless tools for AP packages : wireless-tools , hostapd , wpa_supplicant
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) :
