Software Access Point
From Hack Sphere Labs Wiki
Just your basic bridge and hostapd setup. I am doing this with a raspberry pi and a alpha AWUSO36NH. One of the biggest issues is understanding the new systemctl methods of archlinux.
I was able to do this just fine but the pi would freeze. Even with a USB hub. I have done some research and found that with the raspberry pi the recommended power adapter is just too light. I have just created some 2A 5v adapters from some parts from digikey. Just a 5v 2A switching adapter of my choosing and a usb cable. Soldered together and works fine.
I want to see if this: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1030 works with hostapd as it is small and has a sma connector. I will be trying this again hopefully with my USB alpha adapters.
hostapd
Concern rests with the file (Most of these are default):

Notes
systemctl and the /etc/conf.d dir? I edited dhcpcd and added -t 30
Notes:

- pacman -Sv ifplugd
pacman -Sv bridge-utils pacman -Sv netcfg pacman -Sv hostapd
