wireless access point

Postby tritron » Tue Aug 25, 2015 4:50 pm

I wonder if someone can help me setup wireless access point. I setup hostapd no issue. The bigest issu I am faced with is geting my wlan0 setup with address. On raspbian it seems easy but I can get wlan configured from netctl.

Previously I had to write a small bash script that would do all setup, including launching hostapd. Then you can create a systemd service that executes the script on boot.

I would suggest using systemd-networkd to configure the IP on wlan0 interface, and use it all via systemd.

Does anyone has an idea on how to setup netctl to bringup wlan0 without connecting it to access point. This is very easy on raspbian but on arch linux.
