This patch series contains some cleanup patches for brcmsmac and then adds beacon and probe response template upload. With these features AP and Ad hoc mode support is added in the last patch. Probe response sending by ucode is deactivated for now. Currently AP and Ad hoc mode do not work in the 5GHz band. I do not know what is wrong there, I have tested this with the firmware from linux-firmware and with one extracted from a proprietary Broadcom driver. Power saving stations could cause some problems as Johannes said, to make this properly work some more functions have to be implemented, but I would like to do this later. When running AP mode in 5GHz band on my BCM43224 I get the following errors, and I do not see the network with my Intel IWL6300, the regulation restrictions in channel.c where changed before: [ 829.608000] brcmsmac bcma1:0: wl0: wlc_suspend_mac_and_wait: waited 83000 uS and MI_MACSSPNDD is still not on.

I got some positive responses for other people testing this on their Access Points with OpenWrt and no problem report. The structure of brcmsmac is pretty complicated, because it copies many addresses into its own structs and does not use mac80211 structs in main.c. This is based on the current version of wireless-testing/master.
