Is it possible to make a pci wireless card into an access point so that i can use my psp on it without having to buy an actual access point?

Grateful for any help.

Not without some 3rd party software on the PC it isn't. Sony's definition of an ad-hoc network means PSP to PSP only, not PSP to PC.

I don't remember the name of it, but there is some software that you can run on your PC that'll let the PSP access the internet via an ad-hoc wireless network.

I've been looking for some software, PCTEL SoftAP but the download link isn't active any more, does anyone know of a site to download it from?

I think hes talking about infrastructure mode, he just wants to use the internet. You can setup ics pretty easy.

PCI Wireless card - something else = Ad-Hoc mode

Wireless Access Point - Wireless device = Infrastructure Mode and the OP said that he didn't want to buy an AP.
