once upon a time, but what I would wish for, if possible, would be a hotspot app whic would allow hot spotting and networking without having to connect with other devices(file sharing mostly)

move along..impossible to implement infrastructure hotspot on N9 without support from Nokia themselves.
just sail along wit Jolla. the chipset difnitely will be using infrastructure hotspot.

Kernel sources in the latest plus can be patched from ti-utils to load the AP mode firmware. There's no need for any funny business with user-mode bouncers, you can just use NAT and wpasupplicant to launch up the network.

Hi!
And would it be also possible to implement WPA2 as a security protocol? WEP is kind of old and compromised...
Best regards,
Jaracz

You need to hack the startup scripts so that when you do a normal wlan connect it will load the normal mode wl12xx drivers (wl12xx_spi, wl12xx_sdio) and push up the wl1271-fw.bin firmware to the chip, and when you set up the AP mode it will unload the normal mode cleanly, push up the wl1271-fw-ap.bin firmware and kll off the network manager without affecting the 3g connection...
