[wplug] Linux based WAP

I want to turn my Zaurus into an  Wireless Access Point so others can access
my webserver running on said computer.
This question should apply to any Linux machine.

I'm guessing that I need to setup my 802.11b card for Ad-hoc networking.
I have dhcpd on the machine too.

I don't need forwarding or routing as the same box will provide http service
as well.

Is this all I need or am I unaware of something?

Will an 802.11b card set for Ad-hoc broadcast it's presence like a regular
Access Point does or will I need more software?



Thanks for any info (I'm very new to wireless),

Bob
