[ale] turning your box in a Wireless Access Point

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Or, for the less faint-of-heart:
http://www.cafwap.net/prism2ap/

Detailed instructions on either:

A) How to make your PrismII-based PCMCIA Wireless Card function as an AP 
- or -
B) How to fry your PrismII-based PCMCIA Wireless Card

Since it's tinkering with firmware, you run the risk of performing option
B. But hey, if you have money to blow (and you remember that this is
information, and I'm in no way responsible if you break your hardware),
give it a shot.
