[LUNI] Sharing Wifi

[Samir Faci]

there are no wifi specific tools.  You AP is just like any other nic
on a switch, it plug into your network, depending on where you put it.
 so... in ascii art

AP -----------> eth2     192.168.165.0/24  // dmz
wan-----------> eth1     206.141.192.x (or whatever public ip)
lan -----------> eth0     192.168.164.0/24   // lan

Then just use iptables + iproute + ipforwarding... and leave the ap
open if you'd like.. just block any request to access 164.* from
anything that isn't 164.*

I'm not looking at any wifi specific tools nor do I know of any
