Thanks for the reply.It looks like currently there are only two
devices support AP mode with USB as an interface.

1.MARVELL 8388.
2.RALINK - RT73USB.

But in the linux wireless website it says RT73USB doesn't support AP
mode.I am assuming that site is not updated with recent
information,please correct me if i am wrong.

It would be very helpful if anyone can guide me,how to get the
hardware for MARVELL 8388.I am aware that the XO OLPC laptop is fitted
with the MARVEL 8388 controller with USB interface.But i am assuming
that the controller is not plug play and it is physically soldered to
the motherboard.

Ofcourse i will try my level best to get the hardware from Marvel also.

I am not sure how to buy the laptop and i am not sure whether we can
detach the wifi marvel 8388 module from the laptop and use it in my
target board.

Please guide me how to get the hardware for marvel 8388 chip.

Regards,
Ram
