Re: Create an Access Point with NetworkManager-0.9.8.0

[Vlad Orlov <monsta inbox ru>]

Hi,

I have the same question. I'm using USB wifi device with Ralink 2571 chipset.
iw list says this:

        Supported interface modes:
                 * IBSS
                 * managed
                 * AP
                 * AP/VLAN
                 * WDS
                 * monitor
                 * mesh point
        software interface modes (can always be added):
                 * AP/VLAN
                 * monitor

I'm using debian testing with network-manager and network-manager-gnome pulled 
from experimental repo (both are version 0.9.8.0-1). The "Create New Wifi 
Network" menu item in the applet only allows me to choose WEP and doesn't say 
anything about WPA.

Maybe it's not yet implemented in the applet? If it's so, can I somehow use a 
d-bus interface to network manager itself to create an access point with WPA/WPA2?
