Discussion: #1: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2011-09-30 18:28:30) See http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse/trunk/tools/wlan_webcam/ wlan_webcam.pl is a perl script wrapper featuring - gain control over the machines networks - check for a logitech webcam, (nonfatal if none) - select a suitable wlan adapter (currently rt73usb only) - find an unused wlan channel, or the one with the weakest signal - start hostapd to create a master mode (infrasstructure) network - start dnsmasq to serve dhcp clients, and resolve all dns queries to point locally. - use nat to redirect 80, 88, 8000, 8080, 8888 to the port of the webcam server - start mjpeg_streamer with the logitech webcam. voila. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312810
