Hmmz, I wasn't aware that p54 doesn't support encryption or AP mode yet.
Is there any website/blog or something apart from linvilles commit log
where I can read about its progress?
Funny thing is, I had a chat with Michael Wu because p54 was segfaulting
for me. Turned out that I was missing some crypto modules, which are
only needed for encryption I guess. Therefore I assumed encryption is
working.
"hardware encryption" does not work, since no one has implemented it.
but the software encryption is always available...
Indeed, software encryption works like a charm (for me). This ISL3880
chip has a good range covered btw.
The AP Mode is a pain... Beause the firmware of the device changes the beacon
frames and does some accouting for the powersaving features...
There're workarounds, but they'll probably break something else.
Sad to hear, but I guess there are many sad things to hear when talking
about wireless and open source.
How will AP Mode be realized once it's done? Via hostapd?
