Follow this and you`ll be set. I had the same setup before my Linksy dd-wrt monster router! be aware that the n800 or n810 using a ad-hoc connection drains battery extremely fast! this is the link http://pacadi.blogspot.com/2007/04/n...op-ad-hoc.html

I have searched the net and found that it is possible to do something similar on Linux, add a card/adapter and with the right software turn Linux into an access point. The support for adapters is pretty poor on Linux from what I can see. I was hoping things would be more simple and less constrained though.

Is there an easy way?

Does anyone else have a similar situation and if so do you have a tried an tested way for success? Which wifi adaptor and software did you use?
