Both of them still failed to work at AP mode with hostapd 0.7.3 complaining "Failed to create interface mon.wlan0: -95 (Operation not supported)". Only IBSS(adhoc) mode can work with wpa_supplicant. Has anyone successfully had AP mode enabled for ath6kl? Is there any official announcement about the capability of ath6kl driver in compact-wireless? Only thing I found is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers. It indicates ath6kl does not support AP mode in linux driver. I'm just not sure whether it covers the capability of the one in compact-wireless. Regards, cashq
