Build a Wireless Gateway With Perl
Overview This paper introduces an open source project called AWLP (Alptekin's Wireless Linux Project), which turns a PC with an appropriate wireless LAN card (Prism2/2.5/3) into a full-featured, web-managed wireless access gateway. When operated in a special mode called Managed, the host computer acts as a wireless access point. HostAP does its job and does it well, but it is command line only, and that's not suitable for everyone. A complete solution that potentially competes with off-the-shelf devices needs more features, including DHCP, firewall, DNS, and NTP, along with a web interface for configuration. This is the de facto standard nowadays.
