Basically having a windows VM so you can use virtual router, if it supports it. May have a *nix variant as I've not looked deeper.

Greetings my people!

 

I will soon be building a sweetass unRAID server. The motherboard I picked out (Asus Z89 PRO) has wireless. Of course I'll be using LAN for connectivity. I think it would be really cool and useful to have the unRAID server act as Wireless Accesspoint. Would this be possible? At all?

 

Thanks! :D

What I say, I believe is real. I surrender when you prove me wrong, I love you btw

Aha! It seems to be possible with Debian and Ubuntu http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/ So I'm going with that. Thanks :)
