Interestingly, Fedora 17 is only at 0.7.3-10. It would be nice for a more current version, but for what I need, if it works with WPA-PSK it will be good enough for now for the lab I am building for my son. I can see why such an app is not even in EPEL, as who would run an AP on a enterprise server? Someone that wants enterprise code in a portable lab environment and not have to also lug along an AP. Even the Tenda AP. (Centos for this lab is loaded on an old OQO2).
