I want to create a virtual wireless access point on my board so I can run it as an AP and a node in a mesh network at the same time.
Has anyone ever done something like this? Is it possible?
I am using a debian board. Here are some of its details:
root@alix:~# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian 2.6.32-45) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012
root@alix:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze)
Release: 6.0.5
Codename: squeeze
The wireless card I am using is the dnma-92 http://unex.com.tw/product/dnma-92.
I had tried using madwifi however my kernel seems to be too recent so the ath-pci module has been replaced/superceeded by the ath5k and ath9k modules. when I tried to build the mad-wifi kernel module myself it failed because there is a structure missing from the new kernel headers. – mark mcmurray – 2013-05-07T19:36:26.383
Maybe this can help: http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/MiniPCI
