Cochran" MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Subject: iwlwifi in AP mode is experimental? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, On wireless.wiki.kernel.org, iwlwifi is listed as experimental for AP Mode. We have done some basic testing with a 3160 card in AP mode & hostapd without issue. Now we need to determine if it makes sense to ramp up a rigorous test plan for it. Is AP mode with iwlwifi basically a "use at your own risk" scenario? Can I expect AP mode to be supported more fully in the future? Is there a particular HW module that does AP mode better than others? Is there a list of missing features? Are others using iwlwifi for AP mode in a product? Any additional, current information on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bob
