Fujitsu Stylistic 500 :: As Wireless Access Point :: Debian GNU/Linux

DebianAp - The Personal Telco Project

Those who were interested in my previous post on the Fujitsu Stylistic 500 tablet will be interested to learn that work is already underway on Debian Images for a wireless Access Point on the Stylistic 1000, a bug report is in and the maintainer is looking at fixing this for the older model.

T step by step instructions, what JerrittCollord achived of turning a GNU/Linux box into a true AccessPoint using JouniMalinen's HostApMode drivers for the Prism2Cards.

Because I am most familiar with DebianGNU/Linux this tutorial will be very Debian specific. If someone will write an equivelent for Redhat, Mandrake, Suse that would be great.

I starting off by compiling a custom kernel using Debian's make-kpkg facility. However at this point I don't believe that this is necessisary. What follows is a step by step guide of what I've done. When I've made it all work this page will be updated but in the mean time it's my scratch pad so don't expect it to be a guide to GNU/LinuxAccessPoint nirvana. :-)

If you are looking for the already configured AccessPoint image you can find that on the DebianApImage page.
