wshare
wshare is a simple program to share an existing network connection.

the following parameters are to be set either via a configuration file (/etc/wshare.conf ~/.wshare.conf or in the same directory where the wshare script is located) or or superseding these via command line parameters.

Common settings

innet
set internal network, over which the external is shared
default: ath0
command line: -i

essid
set the essid of the shared network master
default: wshared
command line: -e

key
specify the key for WEP encryption of the internal network. beware this is yet untested and probably not working
default: unset
command line: -k

Master settings
h3.subnet
specify the subnet of the internal network. this must be in the /24 range currently… thus it is only possible to specify networks with 3 of four octets
default: 10.17.17
command line: -n

exnet
specify which network to share, this is the device that connects to the internet
default: ppp0
command line: -o
