can i create a wifi point on N900
 

Hi All

Is it possible to create a WiFi point on the N900 using the 3g connection ? i used to be able to do this on my old omnia via a small app for windows mobile. basically it braudcasts a wifi point for laptops etc to use using the 3g connection. very handy little app. can this be done on the N900 ?

Cheers Jay

Not possible by default, but some people had a look at it, and it's apparently possible (though still a bit hairy - you have to use a user-supplied kernel)

Not sure how that would pan out after the 1.1 upgrade, though..

Joikuspot announced they were planning an app for the n900.
I'm hoping very much they will!

Joikuspot is slow as the dogs as you have to use their terrible servers - I hope someone else gets there first.

Check out http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba, item 6.

The technology to have the N900 acts as a WiFi access point routing to the outside world, It's manual, so you can have it now *if* you're ready to jump in.

Jebba's done some really good. work.
