Yes, AP mode is supported, however, you need patches (see http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/series for a note on it) The reason for the patches is that while it work, there are a number of problems: * depending on configuration, it may not be IEEE 802.11 compliant (this is related to basic rate set and similar things) * there may be inefficiencies with the frame handling * probably more I'm not thinking of right now johannes
