[Ninux-Wireless] Windows 7 Virtual Wifi AP mode

[Pierluigi Checchi]

E' possibile far sì che un PC con Windows 7 possa funzionare da AP (non
ad-hoc, ma in MASTER mode, un AP vero e proprio) in maniera molto semplice:


Windows 7 has a feature called "VirtualWifi". It allows you to split your
WLAN access in Windows 7 on your Laptop or PC and to act like an
accesspoint for other Laptops, so you can share your internet connection.

You must run a command line with admin rights.

.Check the new virtual wifi adaptor

Go to your Device Manager and check if you see a "Microsoft Virtual Wifi
Miniport Adaptor" when expand the network adaptors.

If you check your wireless network cards in your network and sharing center
you´ll see a second wireless network connection.
