If it lists AP in "Supported interface modes", then yes, your device is capable of it. > Here is my debug info, at the bottom with the failure of changing to master mode > dmesg: > loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 > cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: EU > > iw list wlan0 > Supported interface modes: > * IBSS > * managed > * AP > * AP/VLAN > * monitor > software interface modes (can always be added): > * AP/VLAN > * monitor > > iwconfig wlan0 mode master > Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : > SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument Don't use iwconfig, because these days a *lot* more information needs to be sent to the device for AP mode, and WEXT is long deprecated.
