To use a atheros wireless card and NetBSD, as a wireless AP simply do:
ifconfig ath0 ssid YouSSID mode 11g mediaopt hostap
ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.1 #ip of the AP

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

In fact, i’m trying to turn my Wifi gateway (which is really a gateway 2 interfaces + masquerading ) in a transparent bridge. You know only have a single IP for the two interfaces, so going on the wired networks and back won’t be masquerade. In fact until now i can’t access to the Wifi [...]
