What do you think? modprobing p54usb works with the driver, but I still have to restart hostapd for it to pick up the now-working driver. Good news is it hasn't happened again. Unplugging is tricky as I have slightly hacked the WUSB54G to fit inside the case (an old Shuttle mini-PC) with a SMA-RP connector and a decent antenna. In fact the main reason I went for the WUSB54G is because this conversion seemed quite easy. I am open to any suggestions for USB devices with b/g/n(?) support that could be internally mounted in this way, + has AP mode support of course. > > Regards, > Chr Thanks, Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
