I am not knowledgeable about wifi but I find this for the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (which I don't use) in my laptop. And lsmod shows iwlwifi as loaded. >From 'iw list' I find: Supported interface modes: *IBSS *managed *AP *AP/VLAN *monitor And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers#Driver_capabilities mentions 'master mode' as supported for 'iwlwifi'. But I wouldn't know in how far AP mode actually works, never tried it.
