 Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2005 6:16 pm Post subject: Wireless Access Point from a Linux Box |
 |
|
I am trying to make my Linux box into a wireless access point, as per the instructions on HOWTO Building a Wireless Access Point With Gentoo - Gentoo Linux Wiki. It seems to be working great, but I have one question. Is it possible to disable ESSID broadcasting with iwconfig in Master mode? If not, is there some other method to making an access point in linux that would support it?

Disabling ESSID is highly dependent on the wireless hardware... If iwconfig cannot turn it on/off, then you don't have it.

I never said it couldn't, I merely asked how I would do it.
