What is the maximum number of clients that an rt2800 device can support simultaneously while in access point mode?
I've had a look through the Linux kernel code and searched online, but haven't been able to find an answer so far.

If you find the answer, please submit a patch to set
wiphy->max_ap_assoc_sta in the driver. That way the limit is clearly
visible and hostapd can make use of it.

As far as I remember, rt2800 has a limited key table (222 entries
according to the comments in the code).
Adding more STAs worked fine for me last time I tried (couple of years
ago). In that
case rt2800 should fall back to software crypto.
