Oh, it sounded as if you'd done this before and knew where to find more details.
All my experience has been with wifi dongles. My last rodeo was a few years ago
when I needed to add AP support to a wifi module. Other people were working on
the basic AP support, so once found their git repos it only needed a simple tweak.
By the time I was satisfied that it was working reliably the support had been added
upstream in the kernel, so I only gained a few months. I did notice recently that the
old module has been removed from the kernel and the chip is now supported
by a different module with no AP support.
I wasn't going to spend any energy on it anyway.
My experience proved useful as a learning exercise, and I did need the AP. It only took a
few evenings, so faster than waiting for some other dongle that also might have problems.
It was easier to slap a return address on the box from momoshop, get a refund, and
get a working 4.0 adapter. That took less than 24hrs and shipping was free.
Glad you found something that works.
