om wifi power 1
sleep 4 # wait for wlan interface to appear
sudo ifconfig wlan down
sudo iwconfig wlan mode ad-hoc
sudo iwconfig wlan channel 5
sudo iwconfig wlan essid "openmoko"
sudo ifconfig wlan up
sudo ip addr add 10.4.2.1/24 dev wlan
sudo /etc/init.d/udhcpd start
sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start
sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid start
sudo /etc/init.d/thttpd start
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.4.2.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'

I used thttpd mostly to share openstreetmap tiles using openlayers
ui. Very handy abroad when I have no flatrate gprs.

Yes, I've used it in train and other meetings where not all people
have flatrate GPRS.
