使用 PCMCIA wireless card + hostap 架設 AP

先準備一張 intersil chip 的 pcmcia wireless 卡
以下是從 hostap driver 裡的 hostap_cs.conf 裡面列舉的卡(參考文章最後)

編譯 kernel
kernel 不要用 patch 的方式 (我沒試成功過), 獨立 make modules, 用 load modules 方式載入
make menuconfig
開啟 General setup ---> PCMCIA/CardBus support
開啟 Network device support ---> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) ---> [*] Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) 其下設定不要勾選(因為要用模組載入)

編譯 hostap driver
wget http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/hostap-driver-0.3.7.tar.gz
解開 make
make KERNEL_PATH=/usr/src/linux-2.4.xx
在 driver/modules 會產生所需的 hostap .o 檔
將 .o 檔 copy 至 /lib/modules/`uname -r`
cp driver/etc/hostap_cs.conf /etc/pcmcia

安裝 wireless tools
可直接使用 wireless-tools rpm 或到 Wireless Tools for Linux 下載 tar ball 安裝

使用新編好的 kernel 開機, 啟動 pcmcia (service pcmcia start)

AP 的 prototype 就出來了

使用 iwpriv 作 ACL
iwpriv wlan0 maccmd
   0: open policy for ACL (default)
   1: allow policy for ACL
   2: deny policy for ACL
   3: flush MAC access control list
   4: kick all authenticated stations

iwpriv wlan0 addmac
   add mac addr into access control list

iwpriv wlan0 delmac
   remove mac addr from access control list
