The Linux Wireless Access Point document I have written shares little with
the pre-existing documents at tldp.org. I don't think that there is much
if any cross over and little scope for integration.
A month ago I informed the authors of "Wireless Howto" (Roberto
Arcomano) and "Link-sys WPC11 Mini-HOWTO" (Gerardo
Arnaez) of my work. The former is a somewhat dated document describing
some methods for configuring a Linux wireless client and the later is
concerned with the client configuration for a particular wifi card.
In comparison, the HOWTO I have written is about configuring Linux to act
as an Access Point and integrate with an existing wired and wireless
infrastructure.
