I have a wifi usb dongle ENUWI-G2 from Encore. From /var/log/messages:

In mode Managed, Ad-hoc and Monitor seems to work fine but, after
apply the rtl8187-enable-mastermode.patch (
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg03079.html ) and try to
put the enuwi in master mode I have this error:
# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Sombody have some experience in master mode for this chipset?

The code in vanilla doesn't support AP mode. Use wireless-dev tree
instead.
