I configured my laptop as a wireless AP with hostapd. It works great as long as I 'ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1'. I can have /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 started automatically with hostapd, but I can't come up with an /etc/conf.d/net config that will work. It always fails by saying it can't set master mode or other parameters. I think hostapd is supposed to handle all of that except the IP configuration, but /etc/conf.d/net wants to do more than just the IP configuration. Does anyone know the right way to handle this?
