Hi, I've been using ath9k_htc happily for a while for low density access points. However I've recently bumped into the 8 stations limitation. Tweaking the firmware & macros in the kernel confirm that 8 is probably the limit as "bad things" happen much past this. I suppose if my coding was up to it stripping out all the crypto and just having open network support might free up enough memory in the firmware to up max stations - but it's not, at least not without some guidance. Of course there are always commercial APs available, however I'm looking for something that can feature as a full distro with at a total minimum OpenVPN and 3G dongle support for remote mgt. My platforms are embedded, so PCI based cards are not an option. Are there any USB based drivers out there that support more than 8 stations in master mode? I suppose I'd also be possibly partially happy with an AP with a proper distro on it subject to the 3G/OpenVPN requirements, and the ability to run my own coded captive portal, iptables for quota support etc Maybe OpenWRT does what I want, it's a very long time since I looked at that. Any suggestions more than welcome Thanks Matt -- 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
