Access Point Program


Dear,

Other than Host AP can act as a access point, any other driver/program for me to make my laptop become a access point?

Please help!

The official Centrino drivers can go into Master mode, as well as the rtl8180 drivers. The development version of the rt2x00 drivers are supposed to be able to as well, but they are not stable enough for serious use as far as I am aware.

ZyXEL have a USB Wireless Adapter that can be configured as an AP.
