Building a WiFi access point

[eno]

So good news: it seems to work as advertised. I built hostapd from their sources and used the sample config files with SSID and password changed. The setup involved setting up forwarding with sysctl, Im routing between eth0 and wlan0 using iptables and running udhcpd and hostapd on wlan0.

Dont know if its worth building a special extension for their hostapd ?

Hello Eno,
I'm interested on the hostapd for realtek compilation. Are you going to create a hostapd versioned packaged? or at least could you provide the one that you have compiled?

Thank you

BTW, I have been playing with the hostapd provided by adafruit (check https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software) and
wget http://adafruit-download.s3.amazonaws.com/adafruit_hostapd_14128.zip

It seems to work.

I thought about packaging this up but I don't remember what the exact requirements were to build it. I'll need to test with a base TCL image.
