Hello Jeremy, In the meantime I bought a Wrap board with madwifi card (CM9).
I will describe my setup and hope you will be able to get it running, I would suggest to first try with WEP or no encryption and try WPA later (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/HostAP). I'm using Bering-uClibc-2.4beta1 with the latest madwifi-ng modules and usespace programs. The modules-tarball can be found here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/bering-uclibc/packages/ You need the 2.4.32 tarball. The madwifi modules are in the /net directory of this tarball, take a look at modules.dep for the right dependencies. You need the wlan and ath_x modules. Load them in the right order in /etc/modules (I can't check it right now, don't have access to my router) Download the latest wireless.lrp and madwifi.lrp packages: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/20/2.4.32/ (you can also find the latest hostapd.lrp package in that place) In /etc/network/interfaces you have to define something like the following: auto ath0 iface ath0 inet static address 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 madwifi-base wifi0 wireless-essid myessid wireless-mode master The wireless-mode setting places the card in AP mode. It's normal that the wifi0 address doesn't have any ip-address, it's just the master device for the ath0 interface(s) (you can create multiple VAPs, Virtual APs, with madwifi on the same physical device). Some notes on your errors: #2 Do you scan from you Workstation or from the router itself? You need the ath_scan_ap modules for this to work (AFAIK). If you scan from your workstation, you need an "essid" configured (see above). #3 You need to install wireless.lrp, that package contains the wireless tools. Note that the modules in the 2.4.32 tarball are "madwifi-ng", so you need wlanconfig for it which is included in the madwifi.lrp package. I don't know the rest of your setup, but some general notes: Make sure that if you want dhcp on the wireless network, you have to configure that in dnsmasq.conf, something like: dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.0.199,12h If following the above example. And enable dhcp traffic to the wireless zone in shorewall interfaces: loc ath0 detect dhcp I can confirm that the setup is working, at least with WEP. Didn't try WPA yet, but following the example on the madwifi wiki, it should be straightforward.
