Hi Kalle,

I've tried ath6kl in compact-wireless-3.6.8-1 built with kernel v3.5.7 on arm 
for AR6003, as well the driver in kernel v3.5.7. 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
