Some F7 kernels have some old, broken code which claimed to support AP mode. But, you would be hard pressed to find a version of hostapd that worked with any of them. If your purpose is to share your Internet connection over wireless I would have to advise using an IBSS (i.e. "ad hoc") wireless setup and a routed solution (e.g. NAT or proxy ARP). Even better, you might consider just acquiring a consumer grade AP such as the WRT54G. Hth! John -- John W. Linville linville@xxxxxxxxxx
