ok mk01,

i have been trying this method for a few hours now... no luck... from a fresh install of XBian, am i suppose to install hostapd, or anything else first...? i've tried tinkering around with the /etc/network/interfaces file and not sure if i'm suppose to add these lines or edit the current lines already in there... when i cross check the dongle with XBian capability i get to many contradictions of whether it will work or not... i know it works to connect to my router, and i know it has AP feature... Also when i was starring at your lines above, is "wireless-essid MYCARXBIAN" suppose to have a "e" in the "ssid" part...? i tried it with and without, didn't work either way, lol...
