I've seen a lot of answers that say "NOT POSSIBLE!!", as if the device manufacturers really want us to believe that it can only be done on MSWindows and MacOSX.
I've seen a bit of talk about what appears to me to be the reverse of what I want to do -- allow other computers to connect via the netbook's ethernet port and piggyback the netbook's wireless onto the web. That's not what I want to do. I've got brctl and hostapd installed and have tried some configurations I've seen. I keep getting blocked, apparently by RF-kill and/or something else that tells me it's not allowed. So, before I dump all my configuration files and error messages on the list, can anyone point me to a good how-to? I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious before I start asking questions. -- Joel Rees One of these days I'll get someone to pay me to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C. Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef, run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define, and stop all integer size bugs with a bare cast.
