Hosting a WiFi Access Point without a Wireless Router

I was doing my laboratory when one of my teachers approached me and told me if I have seen the new Wireless Network Access Point in our laboratory.  To my excitement, I immediately reached for my laptop bag and grabbed my laptop. I didn’t even bother to place my laptop on top of the lab equipment even if the teacher was watching me cram.

When I opened my laptop and scanned for the available wireless network APs, I saw a new one on the list.  Its network SSID is AdduNet.  My teacher told me that it was him who installed the new AP.  I asked if it’s a router that he used for that AP.  He said no, it was his laptop which hosts the network AP.

Unknown to me, some PCMCIA Wireless Adapters have the capacity to host a wireless network.  I think I still need to research on the proper procedure for internet sharing via a self-hosted AP using an ordinary laptop.
