Wifi Adhoc support

[tschinz]

Hello Guys,

As a possible feature suggestion.
If no Wifi is found or recognised RuneAudio could after a timeout create it's own Adhoc network, that way it is even usable without a working Wifi or Ethernet connection.

On RPi there are solutions with cheap low profile Wifi-USB-Adapters.

The solution could be with Hostapd. see the following blogpost about it:

Any plans to implement it?

Thanks tschinz

Hi tschinz,
thanks for your suggestions, we are already working on a solution similar to what you have proposed.
Of course we are using hostapd.

I hope to release this feature into the upcoming 0.4 release.

Ciao.
Simone.
