I would like to know if it is possible to write some software that could fake the prescence of a router when running so other people can see it in their list of wireless hotspots? A bit like the MyWi application for jailbroken iPhones (altough MyWi is not a fake).
It doesn’t have to do anything, just show up on WiFi scans.
Is this possible?
Thanks a bunch!

There’s already a Linux program called hostapd that can allow a computer to serve as an access point. Unless you like writing driver code (or at least spend quite some time reading the 802.11 specification), you probably won’t want to reinvent it.
