Hello iwlwifi support,
I want to run my Wifi Intel WifiLink 5100 AGN in Access Point
Infrstructure Mode, so that I can connect via WiFi with other devices
to my workstation.
This is under Ubuntu Linux 12.10.
I have tried setting the wlan0 to run in master mode, but it gives me
error, as shown below.
Is it possible to run this WiFi radio in AP Infrstrucutre mode ? How ?
Thanks,
