linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I would like to configure a WDS using my desktop PC where I installed a Debian GNU/Linux OS. The computer has a wifi card with a Atheros chipset, it uses ath9k kernel module which supports WDS mode. The computer will be linked with a ZyXEL wifi router that I use to share internet connection. I've read tutorials and howtos in order to configure my Debian machine as a WDS station but it doesn't work. Could you suggest me a good tutorial or help me to configure the wifi network? Thanks in advance. (HowTos)
