RTL8187 for linux驱动 提供内核支持802.11g的模块

rtl8180-sa2400 as an AP (master mode)
----------------------------------------

The driver now supports a *basic* AP mode. Basic means that the 802.11 protocol is not fully implemented. 
Each client may associate with open authentication method, anyway the AP doens't care about this, it simply accepts packet from the nics sending them to its BSS.

To put the driver in AP mode you should run 

iwconfig <ifacename> mode master

Then you can assign a BSS name 

iwconfig <ifacename> essid xxxxxxxxxx

and a channel

iwconfig <ifacename> channel xx

if you wish you can specify also a key fo WEP encryption.

iwconfig <ifacename> key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When you bring up the interface the nic should create the BSS. You may assign an IP address to the interface if you want to simulate
the connection of the AP to a wired network (your host).

This means the hosts on the wlan might talk between themselves and with your host (trought the NIC ip).
If you want to bridge this virtual AP to a real wired network you might use the kernel ethernet bridging.

Please consider this feature is still rough and experimental, it may contain some bugs, so don't trust it too much.

Please report me success/insuccess feedback
