Re: [Madwifi-users] Trouble with AP mode

[Bob <bo...@88...>]

Aloha Clifton,

I believe the following worked well for me;

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
athctrl -i wifi0 -d 18000
iwconfig ath0 essid WAI1
iwconfig ath0 channel 1
iwconfig ath0 rate auto
iwpriv ath0 wds 1

brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 ath0

ifconfig br0 10.104.1.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.104.1.255
route add default gw 10.104.1.1 br0

If the system that you are working with does not include man pages, 
google brctl man to find the man page for brctl.

Good Luck,
bob
