Solved Share wireless internet

[Silent22]

My notebook is connected to the internet with a wireless card. Can I share this internet with any wireless device? With an access point?

I read "31.3.6. FreeBSD Host Access Points" and tried this:

# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
ifconfig: create: bad value

ifconfig http://chopapp.com/#y5wsmxzp

I found this article on howtoforge. This may be a way to get there. I haven't tested or anything.

That's probably because wlan0 already exists on your system. Try the second command in the handbook ( ifconfig wlan0 list caps) to check if your card even supports acting as an access point.

I think you might need a second wireless card for this then.

You're overthinking it. Why would you want to share the wireless network if the other machines can simply connect to that same wireless network? Let the modem/router do what it's supposed to do, share internet to multiple wired and wireless machines.

This is very true. However, the OP might want to set up a firewall or content filtering or something. Can FreeBSD create multiple networks with a single wireless card? This would not be just aliases of network addresses, but additional wireless networks with different SSIDs. It seems like this could be done, but is it supported?
