Re: [Voyage-linux] can´t get Atheros AR9280 (ath9k) in AP mode

[Pablo Escobar]

I got it working. I have just connected with my phone

what I did was just a clean voyage-current install ( Build Date 20110514)
and don´t edit /etc/default/hostapd as done in voyage0.7

I have just edited /etc/network/interfaces and uncomented the "auto wlan0"
line to get the interface up and rebooted the alix board.

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 10.1.10.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 10.1.10.255
                hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf
        up nat.sh wlan0 eth0 "10.1.10.0

many thanks Punky.
¿have you tested wirelessN mode in voyage-current to get higher bandwidth?
¿could you point me to good docs about how to enable wirelessN?
