Recommend a wifi dongle for access point setup

[mk01]

@Wrechid

oh, maybe I wasn't clear enough how to edit the interfaces file. you can't just add it to the config file, you have to replace current wlan0 relevant lines (and also encryption settings). so you interfaces should look like:

Code:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface default inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-channel 1
wireless-essid MYCARXBIAN
wireless-mode ad-hoc

I don't know about android, can't test.

But if you have root access, you should be able to configure it manually maybe. Can't help there.

And I would be happy to help with the AP mode, but I'm not sure if I have dongle with AP support.

Where can I get this info? I have dongles with chipsets:

rt: 2570, rf: 0005, rev: 0005
zd1211rw
RT chipset 5390, rev 0502 detected (RF chipset 5370 detected)
