Amahi server as an access-point

Hello,

I have my Amahi set up and running on my ETH0 interface, now I want to configure my WLAN0 as an internal access-point.
I never worked with wireless on Linux and dont get it to work.

Has anyone done this? How do your ifcfg-wlan0 look like? And how did you set up the bridge between wlan0 and eth0?

oh yes, it's doable.

you need networking, but also need some software to run the encryption, etc.

there are a number of access point packages out there (chillispot,/coovachilli, etc.)

I got it to work, now my other computers and wireless stuff can connect to the internet through my hda server.
I had to do some changes in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and /etc/named.conf to, these gets overwritten every time I restart.
Do I need to make a script that fixes this or can I configure all my settings through HDA?
