We want to set up a Linux and a Windows computer on a local wireless network. We would like to do this without using a dedicated access point. Having the Linux computer also be an access point would be the best solution. Is it possible for a single wireless port on Linux be both an access point and a regular wireless port at the same time? I have seen information on setting up openSUSE to be a wireless access point. Something like this: Ad-Hoc connection setup with YaST YaST -> Network devices -> Network Card select ifup, click Next select card, Edit select Static address setup and fill up the IP address, Next select Operating Mode Ad-Hoc and set ESSID to your domain id select authentication, Next, Finish Has anyone done this? The Linux wireless port currently reports: # iwconfig wlp2s0 wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"RAMBOLL-GUEST" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.2 GHz Access Point: 84:3D:C6:B3:40:2D Bit Rate=300 Mb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:612 Invalid misc:803 Missed beacon:0 -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
