17 Configure setup via configuration file /etc/grml/routersetup.
18 The variable AP_ESSID sets the essid of the accesspoint, if it is unset the essid grml-ap will be used by default.

23 On the server side (where running grml-ap):
27 | # cat /etc/network/interfaces
28 | iface ap inet static
29 | address 192.168.10.1
30 | netmask 255.255.255.0
31 | network 192.168.10.0
32 | broadcast 192.168.10.255
37 On the client side (assuming eth0 is your WLAN device):
40 | # cat /etc/network/interfaces
41 | iface ap inet static
42 | address 192.168.10.2
43 | netmask 255.255.255.0
44 | network 192.168.10.0
45 | broadcast 192.168.10.255
