The statement that the rtl8187 CANNOT be set as an AP is utterly wrong. Alfa networks provides a Windows utility that allows one to setup an AP, I've used it and it works(as well as anything on windows). It seems that this is a crime against technology that windows can provide a functionality that Linux cannot or may never.
I did not say that the RTL8187{B,L} cannot be used as an AP! I said that rtl8187 cannot. The capitalization is important. With caps, it refers to a device; without implies a driver.
I am not sure how well an RTL8187L would work as it only has a single transmit queue, but perhaps it would work.
If you think there is a "crime against technology", then you need to be the one to make the necessary changes to rtl8187. After all, the source is open.
