You'll be able to see my results at: http://wireless.erley.org/ Well, same result as last time I checked. It lets me put it into AP mode, and when I scan I can pick it up, but I could not associate with it, but beyond that, I haven't done any debugging. If any rt2500usb devs could suggest the next steps in debugging this, let me know. As for making an AP, I recommend something ath9k based, as it works quite well. It's only pci/pci-e, as far as I know though.
