[MLB-WIRELESS] Orinoco card as an Access Point

[Michael Bailey]

You can use an Orinoco silver card to build an AP but it only supports
iBSS mode. But that's not a big problem. And yes, it's cheaper than buying
an RG1000 which you need to drill a hole into to fix and external antenna to.

You probably want to use the orinoco_cs drivers, flash the card if the firmware
is old and put the card into Ad-Hoc mode in order for clients to connect
to it as an AP.

Netstumbler will see it as an AP.

cheers,

Mike
