Hi Kalle, Thanks! My HW can work with the private Wifi driver(almost the same in previous linux drivers\staging dir), both hostapd and wpasupplicant. But I don't like that driver, if the new driver can work with hostapd, I prefer switch to the new driver. Take your time and take good care of yourself. Best Regards!
