Some details can be found in the patch that disabled AP mode (see below). It cannot be re-enabled until the issues mentioned in this patch have been addressed ... and the AP mode requirements mentioned in http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/API needs to be reviewed also. commit 44b73f240da0d18a2d17afca488e8c80496d92ca Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 1 18:50:27 2008 +0100 iwlwifi: disable AP mode iwlwifi does not support AP mode in any way. For one, it doesn't even buffer multicast/broadcast frames properly. We didn't allow zd1211rw AP mode to be enabled without this, so iwlwifi shouldn't be allowed to advertise AP mode either. It also doesn't work at all, it doesn't even answer to probe requests, I'm guessing the packet injection code was disabled again.
