My wireless card worked out of the box, but now I want to turn the maschine into an access point so I followed these guides
- Setting up a Wifi Adapter to support "master mode"
- How to setup a wi-fi hotspot (access point mode)?
Unfortunately, iwconfig eth1 mode master
returns Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
and according to iw list
supported interface modes are IBSS
and managed
.
Strangely using Windows' hosted network works fine.
My Network Controller is Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
