It's hard to say if it's intentional or not. rt2500usb is listed as having AP support, and it's closely related to rt73usb. I did a quick test with rt73usb. hostapd starts sucessfully, and a client using ath5k can connect and transmit data. A client using ath9k can connect (wpa_supplicant enters state CONNECTED), but no data goes through. The same client connects fine to a normal AP (D-Link DIR-615). I don't have time to debug that issue right now, but you get the idea. The AP mode can be enabled, but be prepared to some issues. > It would be very helpful if anyone can guide me,how to get the > hardware for MARVELL 8388. 5 minute search finds that Zonet ZEW2502 is what you need. There is only one driver for that device on the Zonet site, and it's clearly for Marvell. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
