hi there!

I have to create a wireless access point software. Not a firmware, a software a code which i will run on a desktop pc with wlan cards and it will then act as a wireless access point.
I dont have any knowledge about it.
I dont know how to program it with which particular tools and libraries. As far as i have searched I am going with ubuntu and java to program it.

If anyone can help me with it. I'll be extremely thankful.

My task for this monday is to code, which will broadcast the ssid only.

I should be able to broadcast the SSID.

Urgency deleted: It may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us. All that your stressing the urgency does is to make us think you have left it too late, and want us to do it for you. This annoys some people, and can slow a response.

Your teacher is right. Final project needs from you to make many researches. I can't do it for you.
But see these:

thanks alot mate. I'm going to search these links.

I know about the final project but it is clear that we are not into network prpogramming so they must help us with some of the particulars.
