Please have a look at http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/3/en/content/drakgw.html
Otherwise you may need to have a look at hostapd: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5370

Here is what I did....

Got me Samsung Galaxy S3, Rooted and Reflashed with CyanogenMOD ROM. Now I have a Mobile Hot Spot/Router with 4G LTE.

I can run all my wireless devices and stream anything that I want.

That I have Apple products?
Nope, way too proprietary to make it work with anything else, way too expensive and they are not any better than anything out there.
