Trying to create a wifi access point
Have checked my card with iw command and it does support ap mode
I am using hostapd 2.4 package to get it up and running
When making the config to compile the package there are a few reference to libs. On closer inspection the libs are not in the library.
Will there be any issue to install the librarys from slackware pkg's
The libarys are for the driver to create the AP

Libs needed
libnl3 (Netlink Protocol Library Suite version 3)

I finally got it up and running with hostapd had a few issues with another AP and channels
Where would be the best place to put startup, iptables, bridge commands to work at boot.
Only other thing i have to nut out is how to add dhcp to the bridge without conflict to eth0

Eth0= isp dhcp br0= Eth1 wlan1

for dhcpd use the rc.dhcpd at
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/rc_scripts/other_rc_scripts/rc.dhcpd

place it in /etc/rc.d/ , make it executable and add your interfaces eth1 wlan0 in DHCPDD_OPTIONS

Put your startup commands including
Code:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd ]; then
  echo "Starting the DHCPd Server"
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd start
fi

in
/etc/rc.d.rc.local
