Can I make a wifi access point with Broadcom?
Can I make a wifi access point with Broadcom?
I am completely new to Puppy Linux and to every kind of Linux even. Luckily, I have figured most of it.
I have a HP Pavilion g6 laptop and Lucid Puppy 5.2.8
I saw the other posts but does lupu-528 support the Broadcom Internal Device? If not, then is there a way to install the drivers?
My main purpose is to setup an access point.
Any help is appreciated

This from a terminal and let's see what you've got:
Code: Select all
lspci -nn | grep -i network
Code: Select all
sh-4.1# lspci -nn | grep -i network
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

Yes.
Get hostapd from here - "Puppy as a wifi access point"
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84269
and carefully follow all setup instructions in the first post - substituting all instances of "wlan0" with "eth1" - since that's the interface created by your Broadcom device.
You may also need to tweak Puppy's firewall settings - see later in that thread.

Probably not.
Someone tried this before, and every time they tried to add a bridge-interface for ppp0 they got an error message.
There's an explanation here -

What's the exact nature of your ppp0 interface? What physical hardware is involved, and what type of service does it connect to?
