#載入driver且不create athX interface
modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none
#載入wep driver
insmod wlan_wep
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
#Create ath0 & wifi0 interface.設定為access point
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

6.設定ESSID
iwconfig ath0 essid myap

7.設定WEP encryption key

WEP encryption key 有64bits及128bits兩種.分別可以5及13個字元或10及26個十六進位數值.
同時可以有四把key可以使用.

~ # iwlist ath0 key
ath0 3 key sizes : 40, 104, 128bits
4 keys available :
[1]: 3132-3334-3637-1234-0000-1111-23 (104 bits)
[2]: off
[3]: off
[4]: off
Current Transmit Key: [1]
Security mode:restricted

#40-bit WEP (also known as 64-bit WEP with 40 secret bits)
#104-bit WEP (also known as 128-bit WEP with 104 secret bits)

#Set current key equal to string "abcde"
iwconfig ath0 key s:abcde
#Set key[1] equal to hex value 0123-4567-89
iwconfig ath0 key [1] 0123-4567-89
iwconfig ath0 key s:abcdefghijklm
iwconfig ath0 key 0123-4567-8901-2345-6789-0123-45

Security mode
有兩種模式open及restricted. 在open mode下不需要認證也會允許未加密的連線.在restricted mode下,加密認證是必要的.

#Set restricted mode, key[2] = abcde
iwconfig ath0 key restricted [2] s:abcde

關閉取消key
#Disable all key
iwconfig ath0 key off

設定使用的Key
#Set current key by key index 2
iwconfig ath0 key [2]

關閉AccessPoint
wlanconfig ath0 destroy

啟動AccessPoint
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

設定ESSID
iwconfig ath0 essid imhotep

加入Bridge control
brctl addif br0 ath0

設定physical layer
iwconfig ath0 channel 0
iwpriv ath0 mode 0 /*0 = auto, 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = g*/

設定mac filter規則
iwpriv ath0 maccmd 0 /*No ACL checking is performed*/
iwpriv ath0 maccmd 1 /*Only allow ACLs in the ACL list*/
iwpriv ath0 maccmd 2 /*Only deny ACLs in the ACL list*/
iwpriv ath0 maccmd 3 /*Clear ACL list*/
iwpriv ath0 maccmd 4 /*Clear ACL list and no ACL checking is performed*/
