hi, > The thin firmware that allows using the 8383 with mac80211 and > implement an AP with hostapd is available here: > http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/thinfirm/ Thanks for the reply.It looks like currently there are only two devices support AP mode with USB as an interface. 1.MARVELL 8388. 2.RALINK - RT73USB. But in the linux wireless website it says RT73USB doesn't support AP mode.I am assuming that site is not updated with recent information,please correct me if i am wrong. It would be very helpful if anyone can guide me,how to get the hardware for MARVELL 8388.I am aware that the XO OLPC laptop is fitted with the MARVEL 8388 controller with USB interface.But i am assuming that the controller is not plug play and it is physically soldered to the motherboard. Ofcourse i will try my level best to get the hardware from Marvel also. I am not sure how to buy the laptop and i am not sure whether we can detach the wifi marvel 8388 module from the laptop and use it in my target board. Please guide me how to get the hardware for marvel 8388 chip.
