If Ethernet port is shared, works OK.  Have used shared Ethernet port to 
other computers, have used shared Ethernet port to hardware WIFI access 
point, both connections work.

Attempts to share internal WIFI fail using infrastructure & ad-hoc 
modes.  In logs I find no indication of error.  Other computers do not 
see shared WIFI port transmitting.
Maybe Atheros ath5k driver can not do access point function?
Where can I find log of interactions of system & ath5k driver?
