I seem to remember a way to use a laptop as a local wireless router (assuming it has a wired port to hook to the net), but I can't remember the name of the project and have no idea of the viability of this approach.
Any clues?
If your wireless NIC supports it, you can use HostAP to make it operate in host mode. Once that's set up, you then configure Linux to do NAT routing between the wireless & ethernet ports. If you're simply looking for a portable NAT router, you may consider something like this: http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=12&l2=41&l3=0&l4=0&model=1710&modelmenu=1 I have one of those and it works well. It has 5 modes, including NAT routing for wireless devices. It can also act as a repeater, a bridging access port, make ethernet devices wireless, and even share a hot spot connection. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
