Greetings,
I have 8 static (internet) IP's for my home network. The topology is thus:
cable-modem<---16-port-switch<---hosts/clients
So given that all the boxes w/static IP's provide internet services. I've decided that
the best way to service all my home "clients" and devices, would be to simply add
a wifi AP to one of the "service" boxes as an AP. Done. The AP details are as follows:
A pretty good PCIe adapter, if anyone's looking to get one, and at ~$25 US. It's
even better.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So. What I'm hoping to achieve here, is to make this box service requests for
access to the internet, as well as continue to provide the internet services it
already serves.
Current rc.conf(5):
I'm comfortable enough getting the wireless to work. I've compiled all the necessary
wireless stuff into my kernel. The part that I'm struggling with is; what would be the
best way to plumb this to serve requests from the AP to the internet. I've read at least
30 different "recipes", and now I'm at a loss as to which way would be best.
So I'm hoping someone here might have already done something like this, and be
willing to share their experience/formula.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
