@hi In theory the Intel chips can do hostap mode with some restrictions. A 2GHz only AP would be possible but someone (not me) would have to write the diffs.

@hi I generally use the "share" option from my (i)phone. It exposed it WiFi to (multiple) device(s) and works pretty well.
...
i want to access all my devices by their static ip address or local dns name...
right now everytime i reconnect hotspot all devices obtain new ip addresses and it's painful to re-connect them and talk to each other
...
@hi oh, ok. I thought you just wanted Internet access while on the road.
An option for your need could be mDNS butβ¦ OpenBSD doesnβt have great native support for it.
