<p dir="ltr">Hi all,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am setting up a small home server and desktop with Xubuntu 14.10 desktop version. I have a ath9k based wireless card for internet access. Unfortunately I can not have wired network from my DSL router to the server. Therefore I plan to run the single hardware as both simultanously: a wlan-client to have internet access via the DSL router and an access point with WPA2 to connect my other gadgets as well as to provide a guest WLAN with an virtual interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am stuck between the different approaches, possibilities and versions at the web. Can anyone provide me a step by step example for 14.10? </p>
<p dir="ltr">More specific questions are:<br>
- Is the combination of wpa-supplicant, hostapd and dnsmasq the right way to go?<br>
-Does this bug apply to Xubuntu 14.10 too ( <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1289047">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1289047</a> )? If yes, how to get the old version installed?<br>
- What is the correct way to deactivate the network-manager permanently?<br>
- How to add an new interface (iw dev phy0 add myAP type __ap) permanently, so that it survives a reboot?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best wishes<br>
