As I know there're several types of AR6003 cards hw2.1.1 is supported and I'm using that for testing. The driver also supports hw2.0 but I haven't tested that so there might be some issues. hw1.0 is not supported. > Does it support master mode?

Like Julian said, you need to use hostapd. > Does it support suspend/resume well? From my experiments, seems not. After resuming, connection is lost. I have a patch pending to add suspend support and will send it as soon as I find some free time. But the wifi connection will be lost in resume anyway. If you want to maintain the connection to AP during suspend then you are looking for wowlan support which ath6kl doesn't currently support. Kalle
