- pick a wifi card that supports "Master" mode

if you have to use ndiswrapper, it will NOT work as an AP

- than worry about 64bit or 128bit WEP
- than worry about wpa .. and which variations of WPA

- both ends have to be compatible to talk to each other
	eg.. sometimes netgear will not talk to dlink
	and/or with the competitors products

	- if you make the ap .. you have to find which
	wifi clients you can support

AP howto
