Hey guys,
Is there anyway to use Debian as an access point?
Yes, it's certainly possible. Get a card which supports the hostap driver. I have some notes which you may be able to use.

Don't mind the first half of the recipe where I absolutely feel like using the hostap driver for the non-AP nodes. Today I simply use the orinoco driver for new nodes since this works out-of-the-box with the Sarge installer, anyway.

I would like to use my router (Linux machine) to act as an AP. It looks like this can be done according to the link above.
Now, can anyone recommend a card that will work in Linux?
Furthermore, the link only shows WEP encryption. I want to be able to do WPA. Is this possible using a Debian machine?
